K Love and Cassius Lane captured $15,000 divisions of the first leg of the Dr. Dan Farwick DVM Memorial Trotting Series at Miami Valley Raceway on Tuesday afternoon (March 17).
K Love is a seasoned Ohio county fair standout who now sports 19 wins, but who had less than six at commercial pari-mutual tracks at nomination time. The 6-year-old gelded son of Triumphant Caviar won for the third-straight time with his 1:55.1 performance, taking command just past the quarter for driver Kyle Ater and cruising all the way to the finish line with a two-length advantage. Back Door Man and Aunt Percilla were next to trip the beam. K Love is owned and trained by Charles Ringger.
Cassius Lane used similar tactics for driver Kayne Kauffman, grabbing the lead just past the first quarter and coasting from there to the wire in 1:55.3. Cash Hit ended up a length behind and ER Kim nabbed the show dough. Trainer Ken Rucker co-owns the winner with The Panhellenic Stable. Cassius Lane paid $18.40 for winning his initial start of the 2020 season.
The Farwick Memorial is one of nine annual “Lebanon Legends” series honoring the memory of former fixtures at old Lebanon Raceway and throughout harness racing circles in southwest Ohio.
