Cash Crazy Express and Empereurthebest FR were victorious in the Saturday, Nov. 23 co-features at Cumberland Raceway.

Driver Drew Campbell put Cash Crazy Express right on the engine in the $6,944 pacing feature, a fillies and mares conditioned optional claimer, where they set a snappy :28.1 opening panel over the 'good' track to grab command. Cruising home in 2:03, the eight-year-old daughter of Art Major got her eighth seasonal victory in 28 starts. She paid $6.80 to win. Mark Harris trains and his daughter Kathryn Duran owns the winning mare.

Cash Crazy Express gave Harris his 500th career training win, a personal achievement recognized by Cumberland Raceway with a winner's circle presentation following the race. Harris has 42 victories this season, which is his best seasonal total since 2009 when he had 43. Born in Dover, Maine, the 61-year-old conditioner has harnessed the winners of more than $1.9 million since 2004.

In the trotting division, Walter Case Jr. drove the French-bred trotter Empereurthebest FR ($4) to an easy 2:08 open lengths victory for trainer Jim Dunn and owner Stanley Bubier Jr. The 10-year-old Un Amour Dhaufor gelding earned his fifth victory in 35 starts this year.

In other action, 14-year-old pacer Rockin Rambaran ($9.60) scored a neck victory over Cutter Loose in 2:03.4 for Team Watson. Driven by Wally Watson for owner/trainer Lisa Watson, the son of Rambaran is slated to participate in Cumberland’s Au Revoir Retirement Ceremonies on Dec. 21.
