Two divisions of the $137,000 (div.) Ohio Breeders Championship for freshman colt trotters will highlight the Tuesday harness racing card (September 17) at the Delaware County Fair.
The first division will feature Hilltop Sonar (What The Hill, Post #3 with Chris Page), a winner of three of five 2024 starts.
The gelding has won $88,500 for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi, Beasty and Rich Lombardo Racing.
The first $68,500 division looks to be a battle between Lt Loverboy (Long Tom) (Post #6 with Brett Miller) and Whats Shakin (Post #4).
Lt Loverboy has not finished worse than third in seven career starts and has earned $105,230 for Wayne Mast Jr. and Callam Racing. The Long Tom colt is trained by Darne Harvey.
Whats Shakin was the winner of the $150,000 Next Generation event in May and has amassed $119,800 this season.
He is owned by W J Donovan and is trained/driven by Ronnie Gillespie.

Author Visits Delaware
Wisconsin based driver-trainer, Amber Sawyer will be on hand in the grandstand on Jugette (Wednesday) and Jug Day (Thursday) to sell copies of her children’s book, Love to Race.
The book is based on Sawyer’s relationship with veteran pacer Derek Bromac N, who enjoyed a long career on racetracks in both his native New Zealand and the United States.
Sawyer, captivated by Derek Bromac N’s sheer drive to compete, put the gelding’s gallant story into words — words that turned the lifelong harness racing participant into a published author.
Love to Race features mixed-media illustrations from Sawyer’s longtime friend, painter and art therapist Tami Joe DeLisle.
