It’s My Show steals the show with world record at Red Mile

On Monday (Aug. 14) Red Mile hosted 11 second round sire stakes divisions for freshman and sophomore colts and fillies of both gaits. It’s My Show returned to his winning ways in style in the $80,000 second round leg of the Kentucky Sire Stakes Series for 3-year-old male pacers with a world record equaling mile in 1:46.4. Date Night Hanover recovered from a costly break in her last engagement to win the $80,000 division for 2-year-old trotting fillies.

It’s My Show and his pilot, Scott Zeron, commenced their mile from post position four and settled in fourth position while Bamboozler (Dunn) cut the mile with sizzling fractions of :26.4, :53.1 and 1:19.3. Zeron and the North America Cup winner came roaring into the stretch from fourth to face the challenge of Cannibal (Yannick Gingras) who led briefly after popping the pocket.

Despite his best efforts, Cannibal could not keep pace with the winner and held second over a closing For Once Inmy Life (Andrew McCarthy).

It’s My Show’s final time equals the world records established by Somebeachsomewhere (2008), He’s Watching (2014) and Cattlewash (2020).

Trained by Linda Toscano, the colt sustained his first loss of 2023 when fourth in the $350,000 Adios at The Meadows in his last start after pacing a world record time of 1:47.4 in the elimination.

The regally bred son of champions Sweet Lou and Put On A Show now has a resume of 17-8-2-1 and boosted his bankroll to $540,584.
