In the $17,500 Omar Hiteman Memorial championship race, Sectionline Bigry established a new track record for sophomore pacing colts when he upset heavily favored Mindtrip in 1:51.
After CG’s Boy Toy and Colin N Down dueled to the first quarter station, driver Peter Wrenn gunned Mindtrip -- who entered the race off a sharp 1:51.3 score in the final preliminary leg a week ago -- to the front as the field passed the stands the first time over the five-eighths-mile oval. Down the backstretch driver Tyler Smith felt it was Sectionline Bigry’s time to mount a challenge and the 3-year-old son of Pet Rock responded with a gritty back half going head-to-head with Mindtrip.
Just a neck separated the pair at the finish as Sectionline Bigry dug down deep to gain the slight advantage. Skyway Quinton (Charlie Conrad) was next best in the affair for non-winners of two races or $20,000 prior to the series start.

| Elmo Blatch won his fifth straight race, capturing the Dr. Dan Farwick Memorial Trot on Tuesday. |
Following a half-hour weather delay as a lightning thunderstorm passed through the area, the $22,500 Dr. Dan Farwick Memorial Trot final, for non-winners of six races or $60,000, went postward.
Upstart Elmo Blatch, discovered by owner-trainer David Lough just days before becoming an Amish buggy horse late last year, ran his win streak to five with a 1:56.3 triumph. Lough’s son, Tylor, was again in the sulky but changed tactics in this outing.
Despite going off as a 3-5 favorite, Elmo Blatch was not rushed to his customary lead, opting instead to take a seat fourth along the pylons in the early going. Following early fractions of :27, :56.2 and 1:25.2 by eventual show finisher Rose Run Spanky (Dan Noble), Lough angled Elmo Blatch out three-wide around the final bend.
After clearing the frontrunner, Lough’s charge confidently held fast-closing Starlight AS (Chris Page) at bay through the wire.
Racing will resume Thursday afternoon at Miami Valley with a special make-up matinee program at 2:05 p.m.
