The great trotting mare Check Me Out only has two foals
of racing age, and both are track record holders at the track that their mom
called home. Check Me Out raced to fame and fortune in 2011 and 2012 for Ray
Schnittker and her first two foals - Mooska Stride - 3,1:56h at Goshen Historic
Track (GHT) on Sunday, July 1 and Check Out Trixie - 2,1:58.4h at Goshen
on Friday, June 29 were both Track Record
performances.
Through three days of racing at Goshen Historic Track,
Cameo Hills Farm in Montgomery, which produced all three of these fillies, has
bred the winners of six races at GHT - Check Out Trixie, Major Sugar Rush,
Hickfromfrenchlick, Damion Diesel Hahn, Mooska Stride and Youcouldbethatgirl.
The first four are trained by Ray Schnittker while Mark Harder trains Mooska
Stride and Dan Daley conditions Youcouldbethatgirl.
