Ladies finish 1-2 in GLADA Trot

Northfield, Ohio — Harness racing amateur driver Lauren Harmon rallied Next Woman Up to a 1:58.1 triumph to win the $7,500 Great Lakes Amateur Drivers Association trot over Jasmin Arnold and Rockefella Lindy Sunday at Northfield Park.

It was the first time this season that the ladies finished one-two in the year-long series and the third seasonal driving victory for the talented Ms Harmon.

The race was inundated with early speed supplied by a :27.1 first quarter clocking by Eddie Miller with Lady Eagle and they still had command when they passed the half in :57.  At that point the trailers looked to move up, but Lady Eagle still was in charge.

Jasmin Arnold was the first to move with Rockefeller Lindy, the odds-on favorite, and they gained command as the field rounded the final turn and headed for home.

At that point Ms Harmon had Next Woman Up in high gear and they joined Ms Arnold as their charges battled down the stretch all the way to the wire before Next Woman Up gained command to win by a length and a half triumph in 1:58.1. Third place went to Dynamin Edge, driven by Don Sherman.
