Miller guides Globe Master to easy win

Northfield, Ohio…August 19, 2025…In case anyone got thirsty again after Edward Miller guided Johnnyreds Victory to the winner’s in last week’s Great Lakes Amateur Driving (GLADA) feature at Northfield, they didn’t have to wait long to quench that thirst.

Monday night’s (Aug. 18) GLADA harness racing feature, once again, went to Miller as he guided his stable’s Globe Master (Muscle Massive) to a handy 1:58.4 win as the overwhelming favorite—$3.00—getting picture perfect handling along the way.

Off the wings alertly from post three, Globe Master was in a brief war with Sadodaka, driven by Ryan Deaton, allowing that foe to slice through panels if :27.2, :57.2 and 1:27.2 while settling in the garden spot.

Holton, leaving from the outside post for Steve Oldford, began churning from the outset and joined the fray in the top three halfway through and remained outside approaching the third station as Globe Master, literally, breathing down driver Ryan Deaton’s neck, searched for some room to roam and, coming off the final bend, found the seam and, once straightened away, had an easy time to score by 1 1/4 lengths over the fastest closing Troycen, with Brandon Preston in the sulky.

Sadodaka did finish third over Baby Yoda, driven by Eric Miller while Holton managed to hold on for the nickel.

GLOBE MASTER REPLAY

In a post race interview, Miller said, “Well, we got a dream trip tonight and we were kinda breathing down Ryan’s (Deaton) neck and we had to be patient to find a spot…that’s about all I can say about it! My horse responded and he did it handy!”

For Globe Master, a four-year-old gelded son of Muscle Massive, trained by Edward Miller for the Red Barn Stable, it nudged his 2025 scorecard to 3-1-1 in 13 starts, good for $22,300 and $73,266 lifetime.

The Great Lakes Amateur Driving Association (GLADA) is one of several Clubs whose members donate 100% of their driving fees in their events to promote harness racing and have both a local, national and world-wide impact for worthy charitable causes for the welfare of children in need and afterlife of retired or injured standardbred race horses, among many other causes.
