Don Sherman knows when he has the best horse in the race the front is the place to be. And that's exactly where Sherman put odds-on favourite Dynamic Edge in the $7,500 GLADA Trot Sunday night (May 8) at Northfield Park as the veteran trotter cruised to a 4-1/2 length win in 1:56.1.
When the starter turned the field loose, Dynamic Edge zipped the lead as Steve Oldford took a seat in the two-hole with Pepin Coolie and they were one-two by the quarter in :28.3. The order remained the same by the half in :58.4 and the leaders were still one-two as they trotted by the three-quarters in 1:27.4. But when they rounded the final turn and headed for home, Sherman's charge began to pull away and Dynamic Edge cruised to an easy 4-1/2 length triumph. Pepin Coolie finished second and So Wishful and driver Larry Ferrari took home the show dough.
Dynamic Edge, a nine-year-old Muscle Mass gelding, is owned and trained by Jessica Roegner. He paid just $2.40 for the win.
