Northfield, OH — Although Christine Johnson and Go Go George started from post eight, they got the first call at every stanchion and won the $8,000 Great Lakes Amateur Driving Association Trot in 1:56 at MGM Northfield Park on Saturday (Sept. 3).

Challenged every step of the way to the top of the stretch by Haul N Dash (Daniel Jones), Go Go George held command and braced for So Wishful (Larry Ferrari) and Emerald Chip (Lauren Harmon) when he turned for home. But in deep stretch, it became apparent that no one was going to catch Johnson’s trotter, and he went on to a 2-1/4-length triumph. So Wishful finished second, and Emerald Chip took home third.

Go Go George, who paid $6.20 to win, is owned by Allen Miller and trained by John Capriotti.
