Smith brothers dominate with six-win haul

The Smith brothers put on a harness racing driving clinic Friday night (Nov. 6) at Hollywood Gaming Dayton Raceway, combining to win six of the 14 races on the harness racing program.

Trevor Smith, the younger of the brothers, highlighted the evening by guiding Ss Druidstone to a 32-1 upset in the featured $20,000 conditioned claiming pace.

Trained by Danny Dubeansky, the 4-year-old son of Downbytheseaside rallied from sixth, ducked into the passing lane and tracked down the heavy favorite Hayhayit’sfrineigh (Kayne Kauffman) in the final strides for a neck victory in 1:51.3.

The winner returned $66.20 to his backers and the lion’s share of the purse to Brian Witt, his owner.

The featured victory was one of three wins on the card for Trevor Smith, while brother Tyler Smith matched that total with three victories of his own, giving the sibling duo nearly half the races on the 14-race program.

In the night’s penultimate race, Tyler steered Tony Pako to a head victory over Trevor’s Prolific Range in 1:56.4.
