Lady Jeter edges Judge Bob in Open Trot

Harness racing driver Russell Foster and Lady Jeter took the $11,000 Open Trot on Wednesday night at Rosecroft Raceway edging out new rival Judge Bob in 1:56.3.

Jonathan Roberts and Judge Bob left from post seven and after cutting a first half in a tepid :59.1, it appeared as if the reigning Trotter of the Year at Rosecroft was going to add another win to his total.

Lady Jeter ($4.80) drafted right behind the leader throughout, and Foster edged up to win in the stretch by a quarter of a length.

Lady Jeter is owned by Zippett Racing Stable and trained by Ed Gannon Jr. It was one of three wins for Foster as he guided Sweet and Toxic ($12.80) and Puddin N Pie ($2.60) to wins.

Roberts added four more wins to his meet leading total, two for leading trainer Michael Hall. Menace to Society ($3.00) and Coach Loman ($12.20). Roberts won with A Lady SIzzling ($8.00) and Thaneeya ($6.40).

Trainer Brian Tomlinson had a double, one of which was driven by Jason Thompson who returned after being involved in a Sunday night spill. Drivers Eric Davis (Broken Collarbone) and Jared Moyer (Torn Rotator Cuff) reman out recovering from their injuries.
