Wilkes-Barre, PA – Driver Andy Miller and trainer Cody Schadel teamed up to win three Pennsylvania Fair Finals races on Monday (Oct. 9) afternoon at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania. There were eight Fair Finals on the card on the day, each carrying a purse of $25,000.

Miller and Schadel won the very first final of the day, when they scored with Showboat Hanover, winner in the 2-year-old pacing filly division in 1:55. That matched the PA Fair Final record winning time for her age group. They would add victories in the 2-year-old trotting group, with Quarantina in 1:58, and in the 2-year-old colts and geldings division, with Ante Up Hanover in 1:53:2.

Trainer Roger Hammer also picked up a pair of Fair Finals wins on the day with two odds-on favorites. In the 2-year-old colts and geldings trotting group, Battin Athousand rolled to a victory in 1:57:2 with Matt Kakaley in the bike. Later, the Hammer barn was ably represented by Little Town Road, who was driven by Brady Brown to a convincing victory in 1:59 in the final for 2-year-old trotting filles.
