Washington, PA — “Soarin’’’ Lauren Harmon and Mon Amour moved relentlessly first over and held on for the narrowest of victories in Friday’s (June 7) $10,000 leg of the Great Lakes Amateur Drivers Association Trot at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

Away fourth, Harmon confidently sent Mon Amour after the leader, Tom “Mayhem” Svrcek (Keystone Apache) before the half and finally wore him down in the stretch.

“I knew I didn’t want to get locked in at any point,” Harmon said. “I had him out a little early, but I had the outer flow coming, so I wanted to make sure that I was out and moving.”

But then she had to deal with Jerry “Duke of Oil” Kehm (Rattling Pine), who was charging through the Lightning Lane. Harmon edged Kehm by a nose in 1:56.2. Steve “You’re Never Too” Oldford (Holton) and Svrcek rounded out the ticket.

Brandon Presto trains Mon Amour, a 6-year-old son of Muscle Hill-Mind Meld who now boasts a career bankroll of $379,144.

Saturday’s Belmont Day card at The Meadows begins at the special post time of 11:30 a.m. The program features a $909.29 carryover in the Early Pentafecta (race four).
