It will be a wide-open affair Saturday night at MGM Northfield Park as six three-year-old c**t and gelding trotters set their sights on the $100,000 purse in the second leg of the Ohio Sires Stakes.

Royal Precedent will look for his second OSS win of the year. Trained by Jodi Schillaci, Royal Precedent went gate-to-wire to win the first leg at Miami Valley Raceway on May 4 in 1:54.1. The son of Creatine will start from post position one with Ronnie Wrenn Jr. in the bike. Royal Precedent is 5-2 on the morning line.

Tennessee Tom, last yearโ€™s two-year-c**t trotter of the year in Ohio did not race in the first leg of the sires stakes. Chris Page will drive the Long Tom gelding for trainer Ron Burke. Tennessee Tom has won both starts this year, winning the James K. Hackett elimination and finals at Miami Valley Raceway. Tennessee Tom has the number three post position and is third choice at 3-1.

The favorite is Spaaaanzano. Aaron Merriman will drive the 2-1 favorite for trainer Chris Beaver. Spaaaanzano is coming off a track-record performance, winning the Battle of Bunker Hill at Plainridge Park last month. The son of Coraggioso will start from the fifth post position.

The second leg of the Ohio Sires Stakes is part of the Battle of Lake Erie card at MGM Northfield Park. The card includes the Battle of Lake Erie, the MGM Buckeye Distaff, and six races in the Buckeye Stallion Series for three-year-old c**t and gelding trotters. The first race post time for the 16-race card from MGM Northfield Park is 6:00 PM.

Tennessee Tom picked up where he left off last year. The Ohio Two-year-old pacing c**t of the year rallied to win his first start of the year in the elimination of the James Hackett Memorial at Miami Valley Gaming.

With Chris Page in the bike, Tennessee Tom let half the field race to the front for the first quarter, settling into fourth place.

Royal Precedent and Trace Tetrick set the pace with an opening :28.2 first quarter.

Royal Precedent continued to lead with E-Pass sitting second and Flash Of Fame third through the half in :57.4. Tennessee Tom was biding his time in fourth.

Approaching the three-quarter pole, Tennessee Tom started to make his move. Page pulled the 1-5 favorite and started to reel in the leaders.

At the three-quarter pole, Tennessee Tom passed Flash Of Fame. Around the turn he swept past E-Pass, setting his sights on the leader Royal Precedent.
At the top of the stretch Tennessee Tom pulled even with Royal Precedent and beat his rival to the wire to win by a half-length in 1:55.4.

Trained by Ron Burke, and owned by Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi, Hatfield Stables, and Knox Services, Tennessee Tom raised his lifetime earnings to $466,350.

Royal Precedent finished second with E-Pass third.

The finals of the Hackett Memorial for three-year-old c**t pacers is scheduled for Thursday, April 25th.

Jeremy Smith led the way with four wins. Page was the only other driver with multiple wins as he won two.

Smith has won 151 races at Miami Valley this year.
