Maryland Sire Stake finals at Rosecroft Thursday
At 0h03, on October 13, 2022 • By ROSECROFT
Rosecroft Raceway will host the Maryland Sire Stake finals for 2-year olds on Thursday (Oct. 13) as part of a marathon 16-race program. First post time will be at 6:45 p.m.
The first four races on the card will feature the 2-year-old finals for the Sire Stakes, going for a purse of $75,000 each.
The first race is the Wayne Smullin Memorial for male trotters, named in honor of the talented Maryland horseman who was the leading driver at Rosecroft several seasons during the 1970s and early 1980s.
Richard Hans continues his dominance in the trotting ranks of the Maryland stakes program. It appears he has another outstanding pupil as How Doo Yoo Goo was impressive in winning his two preliminary legs. A son of the great Googoo Gaagaa, a Maryland Sire Stake champion and prolific sire who was also owned and trained by Hans, How Doo You Goo sports three wins and $30,838 made this season.
Rosecroft’s special 16 race program offers two new Pick-4 wagering opportunities. Races one through four will make up an all-Maryland Sire Stake Pick-4 to start the program. And for those who stick around there will be a late-night Pick-4 offered on races 13 through 16. Races seven through 11 offer Pick-5 wagering with an industry low takeout of 12 percent. And Rosecroft now has a Jackpot Hi 5 wager available on race 10.
