Oh K Man takes 45th win

Oh K Man (Western Ideal – Armbro Amour) and harness racing driver Marc St. Louis, Jr. grabbed command just past the quarter pole from Lying In Cash and driver Jason Merriman and never looked back to capture the Saturday night (Jun. 3) $10,800 featured Open Handicap Pace at Northville Downs.

The nine-year-old horse set fractions of 27.0, 55.4, 1:23.4 and a final clocking of 1:53.1, holding off a late surge from Commander Bob and David Lake, to win by a half-length, while Lying In Cash settled for third. This marked the 45th career victory for Oh K Man and pushed his career earnings to $276,111.
