Arty Foster Jr.'s Northern Express ($8.20) was a 1:55 winner in the $20,000 Open Trot on Wednesday (May 3) at Harrington Raceway with Russell Foster in the bike.
Northern Express, a seven-year-old Muscle Massive gelding, notched his third win of the year over Remarkable De Vie and Muscle Dynasty for owner/trainer Foster Jr., with a wire-to-wire score. Remarkable De Vie closed gamely in the stretch and lost by a nose.
Andrew Glassmeyer's Pinewood Hanover ($2.80) teamed up with driver Pat Berry to continue to be a scourge of the trotting ranks early in the meet. The four-year-old Explosive Matter gelding improved to four-for-four at the meet with a dominant 1:56 in a $15,000 conditioned trot. The Glassmeyer trainee assumed the lead near the quarter-mile and never relented in his five-length score.
Allan Davis had four wins on the card while Russell Foster had a hat trick.
Live harness racing will continue on a Monday through Wednesday schedule. Post time is 4:30 p.m.
