Trainer Jason McGinnis sent out three Buckeye Stallion Series winners for The Stable, all driven by Anthony MacDonald, on a 16-race card at Eldorado Scioto Downs on Tuesday, July 14.
Dublins Ferani ($3.20) became McGinnis’s first winner when the filly scored by 1-1/2 lengths over Rangel (Austin Hanners) in 1:58.1 in the fourth of seven $28,169 divisions for two-year-old filly trotters. Kikionamission (Chris Page) was third. By Uncle Peter out of the Donato Hanover mare Pat On The Back, Dublins Ferani was a $16,667 August Blooded Horse Sale purchase from breeder Dublin Valley Farm. The filly, owned by Thestable Dublins Ferani, took her first win in three attempts.
Next up for McGinnis was Popular Expert ($18.20), who won the third of five $28,169 rookie male trot contests by a half-length over Inrange Anytime (Kevin Detweiler) in 1:58.1 for owner Thestable Popular Expert. Krazy Caviar (Sam Widger) completed the top three. The winning son of What The Hill out of the Pegasus Spur mare Mona Lisa Spur was an $11,111 Ohio Selected Yearling Sale purchase from breeder Marvin Raber. He is now one-for-two lifetime.
The final winner for the trainer was a homebred for The Stable – Lou Armstrong ($2.20), who won the last colt split by 8-3/4 lengths over Serg Garcia (Chris Lems) in 1:58.4 with Camsflashyaction (Luke Hanners) third. Lou Armstrong is by Cuatro De Julio and out of The Stable’s mare, My Jazz, a daughter of My Mvp. He notched his second win in three starts, 10 days after finishing third in the Next Generation.
McGinnis is 33-for-162 this year for a win rate of 20.4 per cent. The Macedonia, Ohio-based trainer conditions many horses for The Stable, including Jailbird Jog, who won the Del Miller Memorial at The Meadowlands last Saturday.
