Strong night for Milby, Mclenaghan

Jammin Jack (Angus Hall) is one of three very talented harness racing trotters in the Stacey Mclenaghan barn. Tuesday night (Oct. 24) at Rosecroft he added a $10,000 Open Handicap Trot win to his 2023 portfolio as Frank MIlby guided him to a win over Funnyfunnyriddle (Hugh O’Neil) and Crossfit Mouse (Corey Braden).

He won for the third time this year for owner David Jarvis stopping the clock in 1:55.3. It was one of three wins for Miilby who scored with Alexis’ Fraternity (The Fraternity Pan) for Gerald and Tammy Lafferty and trainer Timmy Offut and Charlie Undercover (Charlie De Vie), part of a training double for Barry Kingston.

Mclenaghan one race earlier saw Talk Show Chica (Heston Blue Chip) wire a good field Open Mares for $12,000 in 1:52.3, tying a season’s best. It was the eighth win in 20 starts for her. She is owned by Braden who was in the bike. She has now been first or second in six of her last seven starts.

Katie Callahan continues to lead the trainers standings as she picked up two more wins last night to raise her meet total to 15. One of those came with Dive Bar (Well Said), driven by 19-year-old Wyatt Long in the Mid-Atlantic Amateiur Drivers Club. The other division of the amateurs went to 80-year-old Bob Sampson who won for a second straight week as Foxbriar Romeo (Beach Romeo) rallied from way back to win from post eight.

Roger Plante had a training-driving double as well, while scottish born reinsman Hugh O’Neil picked up his first Rosecroft victory. Rosecroft will race a special Saturday card this week with a first race post of 12:30.
