Amateurs Descend On Fowlerville (Mich.)

Published: July 26, 2021 08:59 pm EDT

Many Great Lakes Amateur Drivers Association members convened at the Fowlerville (Mich.) Family Fair for three races in their year-long series. JD Yoder, George Anthrop and Richard Roach proved victorious in their respective $2,000 splits.

In the first split, Steve Oldford sent Santini to the lead, only to be challenged by Bo Nanza Chip and JD Yoder through a :30.1 first quarter.

"I yelled over to JD that I'd let him go, but he fired back that he was OK," Oldford explained.

They raced head to head all the way to the lane, and despite being on the limb all the way, Bo Nanza Chip went on to a one-length victory in 2:01. Swan Leader (Ryan Barrett) rallied to finish second; Big Boy Rosco (Kelly Walker) was third.

In the second split, Oldford again cut the fractions, this time with Kaffir Kemp. They lead all the way to the top of the stretch before George Anthrop hustled Pepin Coolie to the lead, winning by 2-1/4 lengths over Emerald Chip (Jim Ingersoll) in 2:02.2. Kaffir Kemp held on to third after breaking stride on the far turn.

In the final split, Richard Roach took no prisoners, going down the road with Little Jedi and parking Classic Rewind (Jerry Mihelich) to the top of the stretch before also holding off a late rally from runner-up Classic Playter (Ryan Barrett) in 2:03.2.
