Northfield, OH — Northfield Park’s leading driver Tyler Smith drove five more winners on Wednesday (March 20).

Smith’s winners included JJ’s Beat The Rap ($2.80) in race one, Life Long Hanover ($3.20) in race three, Mr Sam ($5.00) in race five, Handnlcbgetwithit ($3.00) in race 10 and Morningsailor ($3.00) in race 12.

Smith has garnered 107 victories at Northfield Park this year and enjoys a seven win lead over Chris Page (100). Ryan Stahl (50), Keith Kash, Jr. (46) and Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. (43) complete the top five.

Currently Smith’s wins rank him as the sixth winningest driver in North America. If wins keep stacking up, Smith could become the youngest driver in the history of harness racing to reach the 1,000 win benchmark.

The 20-year-old Smith started driving in 2009 and has since garnered 796 career victories and just over $4.3 million in purse earnings.
