Make that nine wins from 10 starts at the meet and a pair of Sire Stakes trophies for the streaking 4-year-old pacing mare Overthemoonforyou.
The daughter of Karpathian Kid came into this session with just a pair of snapshots from her first 24 trips to the post, but has been sensational since arriving in California for owner Qks Racing, trainer Quentin Schneider and pilot Aaron Lehman.
To give you some idea what expectations where back in December, she was sent off at 45-1 on opening night before making short work of the competition and hasn’t let up since.
Last Friday night’s coast-to-coast score earned her a second straight Sire Stakes victory and Lehman took things into his own hands that evening by going right to the front and improving her position.
“She’s been unexpected and awesome,” Lehman declared.
Among the 4-year-old pacing males, it was Alien Art Form who was taking bows after the Sire Stakes for owner/trainer/driver Ryan Grundy.
The son of Outrageous Art flattened out after a first-over trip as the favorite in the first stakes dance of the season, but made amends last week with a strong finish to get the job done over Search And Destroy, who has been runner-up in both these events.
