14-1 upset winner in GLADA Trot

Lebanon, Ohio–After a slow start where they were eighth, twelve lengths from the front at the quarter, harness racing driver Daniel Jones hustled Here Comes Moony and they steadily caught their competition and then rallied to the lead on the final turn and went on to a 3-1/2 length triumph in the $13,500 Great Lakes Amateur Driver Association trot today at Miami Valley Raceway.

Dismissed and sent off at odds of 14-1 Here Comes Moony paid $31.40 for the win.

When the starter turned the field loose Alesha Binkley sent Primed N Powerful to the front and they trotted by the first quarter in  a swift :27.3. They were content on the lead past the half in :58.

Trouble was coming as Here Comes Moony joined the fray and when they were at the top of the lane they were heads apart.

When they headed for home it was apparent that no one was going to catch Here Comes Moony and he went on to an easy triumph in 1:59. Parkhill Lancelot rallied to finish second for Jazmin Arnold and Cash For Gold, with Peter Stratton aboard, garnered the show dough.
