Humboldt, IA – With the rain postponing Saturday’s (July 5) races to Sunday (July 6) at Humboldt, Bro Oak had to wait an extra day to try to get his fourth win in a row on the season.
Drawing the two-hole in race one, featuring 3-year-old Iowa Registered Trotting Colts/Geldings, Rob Anderson was given the driving assignment. As the gate folded, Bro Oak made a brush to the front, with Royal Comet (Gary Liles) sitting in the pocket.
Making the top, Bro Oak led the field around the track, cutting the mile in :30.1, 1:01.4 and 1:32.2. As he rounded the final turn, Bro Oak held a length lead over Royal Comet. Charging down the lane, Bro Oak maintained his lead, refusing to let challengers make any ground. Crossing the wire in 2:02.2, Bro Oak not only captured the win, trotted the fastest mile for 3-year-old trotters and was awarded the blanket, celebrating the Glenn & Lorraine Jenson Memorial Trot.
Iowa harness racing resumes on Friday (July 11) for three days of racing at What Cheer, IA. Post time for all three days is scheduled for 12:30 p.m.
