Lauren Harmon, Larry Ferrari GLADA winners at Northfield Park

Northfield, OH — Two solid $9,100 divisions of trotters in the Great Lakes Amateur Drivers Association series went to post Saturday night (Oct. 9) at Northfield Park and when the judges declared each event official, Lauren Harmon and Larry Ferrari each scored a victory in their respective splits.

Harmon won with Lilly’s Swan Pond in 1:57.1 while Ferrari scored behind Go Go George in 1:58.

In her split, Harmon left from the two-hole and was content to allow Don Sherman and the betting favorite Sass take command in a :28.1 first panel. Once on the lead, Sherman kept the pedal to the metal and Sass showed the way to the half in :58.1.

At that point Harmon moved Lily’s Swan Pond off the pylons and out to challenge for command and the two leaders were heads apart when they trotted by the third stanza in 1:27.4. But on the final turn Harmon’s charge began to draw clear and scooted home a 4-3/4 length winner in 1:57.1. Sass held on for second while Larry Ferrari got So Wishfull up for the show dough.

Lily’s Swan Pond is owned by Second Chance Stable and is trained by Charlie Myrick. He paid $10.80 for win and it was Lauren Harmon’s ninth career victory.

In his split, Larry Ferrari took no prisoners and went down the road unchallenged until the deep stretch where his Go Go George dug in and rebuffed a late charge from Fingals Wave and driver Don Sherman to score a half-length triumph in 1:58. Third money went to Shake It Off Lindy who was driven by Manny Miller.

The winner is owned by Kiesha Ferrari and is trained by his driver. Sent off at odds of 6-1, Go Go George paid $15.60. It was the sixth driving victory this season for Ferrari and the 363rd of his career.
