Walden Woods rebounds in Rosecroft feature

Last week, Walden Woods (Betting Line) finished second in the $12,000 Open I pace at Rosecroft Raceway, losing a late lead literally in the final strides.

This week, the six-year-old rolled to the top in the first turn and never looked back for harness racing Roger Plante securing his second win in six starts with a head triumph in 1:53.3 and has been on the board in all six this year. Samuel Young owns and trains the 19-time winner who pushed lifetime earnings over $162,000. Sea Of Life chased valiantly for second while Shim was third.
