Northfield, OH – Bold Strategy went a gutsy race winning the $7500 GLADA trot on Sunday night (March 27) at Northfield Park. With Eddie Miller at the controls the veteran trotter was victorious in 1:56.3.

After starting from the three-hole and trailing early Miller moved his charge off the pylons after a :28 second first quarter and headed toward the lead. Although he was going forward Miller found his trotter still four lengths behind Golden Genes (Tyler Angus), who was clear on the front-end when he passed the halfway point in :57.3.

When the field headed up the backside Miller, still on the limb, worked his way closer to the leader but was still two lengths behind Golden Genes who was 35-1 on the tote board. When the field rounded the final turn and headed for home Bold Strategy had collared the leader and in the deep stretch began to pull away and at the wire he won by a solid length over Golden Genes in 1:56.2. Four lengths farther back in third place was Lauren Harmon with Emerald Chip.

Bold Strategy, a 5-year-old Break The Bank K gelding, is owned by Rebecca Sugg, Mary Stucky and Watson Harness Racing. He paid just $2.80 for the win.
