Oh K Man and driver Marc St. Louis Jr. grabbed command just past the quarter pole from Lying In Cash and driver Jason Merriman, and never looked back to capture Saturday night's $10,800 featured Open Handicap Pace at Northville Downs.
The nine-year-old horse set fractions of :27, :55.4, 1:23.4 and a final clocking of 1:53.1, holding off a late surge from Commander Bob and David Lake to win by a half-length while Lying In Cash settled for third. This marked the 45th victory for Oh K Man and pushed his career earnings to $312,471.
Oh K Man is owned by Julie Neil and trained by Danielle St. Louis.
Lindsay Moen had a driving triple while Kody Massey, Kim Pluta and David Lake had driving doubles. Karen Tkaczyk and Paul Cloer Jr. had training doubles.
