Master Pine Takes OBC

Whotookwhat and Master Pine raced in tandem the final quarter of a mile but it was Master Pine and Kyle Ater edging Whotookwhat by a nose to take the $13,900 Ohio Breederâ?™s Championship for 4 and 5-year-old trotters in Tuesdayâ?™s action at the Delaware County Fair.

As the wings of the gate folded, Greg Grismore fired Pure Jesse out for the lead, forcing Whotookwhat into the two hole. Ray Paver tipped Whotookwhat out before the half, providing important cover for the eventual winner. The pair raced past the three quarter mile pole in 1:27 2/5, but it was Master Pine scoring the narrow victory in 1:57 4/5.

The four year old gelded son of Master Lavec is trained by Kyle Aterâ?™s father, Dan, for Mark Moger and Albert Delia of Pennsylvania.

â?œDad did a nice job of getting him ready, noted the younger Ater. â?œThe horse was great today.â?�

Wednesdayâ?™s 25 race card will begin at 10:45 AM.
