Dawn Amiss’ Fantastic Voyage (Cool Flying Fun) sat a perfect pocket trip and surged by the pace setting Sea Of Life to claim the $15,500 Open I feature Thursday at Rosecroft in 1:52.2
It was one of two wins on the night for driver Jared Moyer who scored a 17-1 score for trainer Shaun Callahan.
While the sport has help wanted ads all over the mid atlantic for barn help, a super success story is 20-year old Trainer Amanda Blackford.
Working at Northern Creek Farm in Maryland for Gary and Tammy Crescenze, Blackford picked up her first career training win on Thursday with John Mac (Ponder). Russell Foster guided him to a wire to wire score after a sizzling opening quarter of :26.3.
“I’m always nervous in that opening quarter but he just loves being on the front” Blackford said.
JOHN MAC REPLAY
Foster won three times on the card while Jonathan Ahle and Roger Plante each won twice and trainer Eric Foster won two races for owner, Eric Foster, Jr.
