Haste won the 50th race of his career on Tuesday at Northfield Park.

Haste (Inquirer-Over Proximity) has career earnings of $635,360 with a lifetime mark of 1:57.3 at Yonkers Raceway at age five. The trotter’s richest win was in the $31,600 Ohio State Fair Stakes at Scioto Downs in 2005. Haste is a well-traveled campaigner as his 50 wins have been spread across 20 different racing surfaces.

Haste started from post three. He received a garden trip through fractions of :28, :58 and 1:27.3. He popped the pocket in the final quarter and bested his competition by three-quarters of a length in 1:58.1. He returned $7.40 to win.
