Eddie Miller wins GLADA Trot at Scioto Downs Friday

Columbus, OH – Young Eddie Miller just keeps rolling along. On Friday (May 7) at Scioto Downs, the talented youngster defeated nine others when he guided Bold Strategy to a gate to wire 1:56.3 in the $7500 leg of the Great Lakes Amateur Drivers Association series.

Sent off as the betting favorite in the contest, Bold Strategy returned a $3.80 win mutuel.

With the crowded field, Miller had little choice other than sending his trotter to the front from post five and got first call at the quarter in :28.1. Surprisingly most drivers found a seat for their steeds along the pylons and Miller was unchallenged as he led the competition by the half in :58.2

Gregg Keidel was the first to move when he tipped Cruzen Cassi to the outside as Miller showed the way by the three quarters in 1:27.4. But when the field turned for home, Bold Strategy put it in another gear and cruised away to a four-length triumph. Cruzen Cassi finished second while A Royal Line garnered the show dough for Steve Oldford.

It was Eddie Miller’s sixth driving victory in just 11 starts this season..

Bold Strategy, a 4-year-old Break The Bank K gelding, is owned by Rebecca Sugg, Watson Harness Racing and Mary Stucky and trained by his driver.
