BERLIN, Md. — Janet Davis vaulted into a joint third place in the Ocean Downs training standings after scoring a hat trick on Thursday’s (June 13) 12-race program.
Davis kicked off her training triple in the fourth race, a $7,500 pace for non-winners of five races or $25,001 lifetime, with Fast Chat ($8.40). With Eric Davis in the bike, the son of Well Said yielded for a pocket ride behind 4-5 favorite Cult Classic before emerging off the home turn and dueling down the pacesetter to win by three-quarters of a length in 1:57.2. Janet and Eric Davis teamed up again to win the fifth, a $5,000-$7,500 claiming handicap pace, with American Rock ($16.40). The 12-year-old likewise parlayed a pocket trip into victory, lunging past pacesetter Moneyorroses in deep stretch to win by a half length in 1:56.4.
American Rock (blue blinkers) rallied down the outside to give trainer Janet Davis her second of three wins on Thursday at Ocean Downs. K. Moyer Photography.
Davis completed her training hat trick in the finale, an Ocean Club Amateur Drivers event, when 19-1 long shot Ohhloooookatchuuuu ($41.80) and Steven Robinson rated a 1:00 first half before digging in to turn aside challenges from Hey Siri and 3-5 favorite Street Beats to win in 1:59.4.
American Rock and Ohhloooookatchuuuu also gave Davis two wins as an owner on the program.
With eight days of the 2024 Ocean Downs meet completed, John Wagner and Michael Hall top the training table with six wins apiece; Davis’ three wins on Thursday give her four on the meet, putting her in a share of third with Stacey McLenaghan and Darren Olsen.
Racing returns to Ocean Downs with a 12-race card slated for Sunday (June 16); first post is 7:05 p.m. EDT.
