‘We’re having fun with a horse we love’

On most weekday afternoons, Dr. Jill Dentel and James Ehrsam are focused on their day jobs – Dentel as the owner of a veterinary clinic and Ehrsam as a township road crew chief – but Wednesday will be a bit different thanks to a 3-year-old filly pacer named Rose Run Aimee.
On Wednesday afternoon, Rose Run Aimee will be among the 16 sophomore filly pacers competing in the eliminations of the Grade 1 Jugette at the Delaware County Fairgrounds in central Ohio. Dentel co-owns Rose Run Aimee with William Rufenacht, Gene Roth and Jeffrey Bankey, and she is up regularly before daybreak to take care of the filly with the horse’s trainer, Ehrsam.
