Washington, PA – Bill “The Flying Antique” Daugherty, Jr., moved Rose Run Whitney three wide past the half, and the pair jogged off to a convincing victory in Friday’s (July 22) Great Lakes Amateur Driving Association (GLADA) leg at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows. Joelene Christman and Enzio captured the other $8,500 split in the event.

Daugherty was parked with cover to the half before he tipped Rose Run Whitney and showed her racetrack. The 4-year-old daughter of Uncle Peter-Stonebridge Dancer responded by overtaking the leader, Jamie “Squirrel” Coffy (Rev It Up Man), and drawing off to score in 1:56.2. Tom “Mayhem” Svrcek (Whiskey Lindy), finished second, two lengths back, while Floyd “The Roper” Rhodes (Forever Jesse) and Stephen “You’re Never Too” Oldford (Pepin Coolie) completed the ticket.

Daugherty also trains Rose Run Whitney, who lifted her lifetime bankroll to $206,478, for lessee Susan Daugherty.

Christman found herself in a pickle down the backside, pinned to the cones while Svrcek and Berkery J opened a sizable lead. Christman used every inch of the stretch to edge Svrcek by a neck in 1:56. Oldford (Sumbodygetdisfool) and Rhodes (Back Door Man) were third and fourth, respectively.

Kelly Paver conditions Enzio, a 6-year-old Neely Dunn-Charged Freight gelding who lifted his lifetime earnings to $161,344, and owns with Julie Davis.
