Grove City, Ohio – Eight three-year-old harness racing colts went behind the gate for the $30,000 Kevin Greenfield Final on Wednesday (June 8) at Eldorado Scioto Downs.
Despite rain downgrading track conditions, Pappardelle (Wishing Stone) tripped the wire in 1:56 to establish a new lifetime mark. The gelding went off as the betting favorite after taking the first two legs of the conditioned mini series.
Dan Noble left with the gelding from post position four and set the pace for the entire mile. The victory came with ease after an opening quarter in 28.2 followed by a half in 58.4.
Rose Run Xander, another Beaver trainee, finished in second while Beast Of Delaware completed the trifecta.
