Valley Sport captured the Open Trot in 1:58 for Tony Morgan.

The 4-year-old Valley Victor gelding commanded the lead approaching the quarter and held pocket sitting Safari Heat safe for a two length win. Put Them On Hold was third.

It was the seventh win of the year for Valley Sport, who has made more than $134,000 this year.

It was one of three wins on the program for Morgan. Earlier on the card, ageless veteran Stormont Northstar ($4.80) won his 28th career race at Harrington in 2:02. He has won more races at Harrington than any trotter in track history. The 13-year-old Brisco Hanover gelding is owned by Bob Stevenson and J & E Stable.
