Published: October 29, 2017 12:26 am EDT

Sweet Ashley T (Homer Hochstetler) held on to win the Vernon Downs featured trot on Saturday night (October 28).

Sweet Ashley T (Conway Hall) put up all the fractions of :28.3, :57.3 and 1:26.1 before a 29-second closer to hit the wire in 1:55.1. Owned by South Of The Tracks Racing Inc. and trainer Hochstetler, the four-year-old mare held off a late spurt by runner-up Painite (Truman Gale) and third place finisher Lucid Thoughts (John MacDonald).

It was the fifth win of the year for Sweet Ashley T ($8.70) and her tenth career victory.
