Halloween Series Final to Wall Said

Wall Said scored her fifth straight harness racing success by capturing the $25,000 Halloween Series Final on Saturday (November 20) at MGM Northfield Park.

Aaron Merriman drove Wall Said for trainer Mike Sweeney, who conditions the pacer at the historic Delaware County Fairgrounds for owners Wall Brothers Stable, Patrick Sweeney, Rocky Miller and John Miller.

Wall Said started from post three. Merriman let her competition get set through the :26.2 opening quarter before moving to the lead. Although receiving a relentless challenge from Wester Rosie (Ronnie Wrenn Jr.), Wall Said remained on the lead through splits of :55.4, 1:24 and 1:53.2, besting her competition by a neck.
