The co-features on Friday (May 12) at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a pair of $12,100 conditioned trots, turned out to be showcases for longshots as they were taken by Crazy Supersport at 7-1 and Rojo Man at an even juicier 18-1.
Crazy Supersport (pictured above) took advantage of swift fractions to move steadily first over from fourth for Dan Rawlings and triumph in a career-best 1:52.3. Phantom Tom finished second, two lengths back, with Austral Hanover fourth-placed third. Lester Mullet trains the four-year-old son of Sebastian K S-Crazy Eyes, who came into Friday's card with a record of 1:57.2, for Chris Hostetler.
Rojo Man saved ground for most of the mile, then brushed wide through the lane for Brady Brown and prevailed in 1:54.3, also a lifetime mark. Favorite Aunt was second, beaten a neck, while Big Boy Ernest completed the ticket. Ashley Brown conditions the four-year-old Swan For All-Ultimate Gelding, who now has won two straight, for Calvin Hoover.
Ronnie Wrenn Jr. collected three wins on the 12-race card.
Live harness racing at The Meadows continues Saturday, first post 12:45 p.m.
