Edgerton, OH — The Van Wert County Fair at Van Wert, Ohio, hosted two legs of the Spring Haven Farm Ladies Driving Series this past week.
On Tuesday (Aug. 27), Christina Johnson steered Rockin TJ to victory with a mile in 2:00.4.
The leg on Monday (Sept. 2) drew two divisions. Leslie Joyce found the winner’s circle with Mr Match On Beach in the first split after a mile in 2:00.4. Johnson and Rockin TJ repeated their Tuesday performance in the second division with a win in 2:00.3.
Mandy Jones continues to lead the 22 lady drivers with 375 points. Joyce sits in second place with 353 points while Johnson occupies the third slot with 307 points.
The ladies have three more opportunities to gain points leading up to the final at the Delaware County Fair in Delaware, Ohio, on Tuesday (Sept. 17). Points are available in two races at the Williams County Fair in Montpelier, Ohio, on Wednesday (Sept. 11), as that fair hosts both a trotting race and a pacing race in the series. Post time for the first race is 1 p.m. at Montpelier. The Wyandot County Fair at Upper Sandusky, Ohio, holds the pacing race only later that same day. Post time for the first race at Upper Sandusky is 5 p.m. Some of the ladies may race at both fairs in order to accumulate points.
