After a contest last night at Scioto Downs, members of GLADA traveled to Northfield Park for two trotting divisions in the year-long series. And when the judges posted the official signs, Don Sherman and Larry Ferrari each emerged victorious in the respective $7,800 splits.
Sherman won with Palmers Pride in 1:56.4 in the first division while Larry Ferrari copped the second one behind So Wishful in 1:57.1.
In his split, Sherman gunned Palmers Pride to the lead from the four-hole and the veteran trotter needed a :27.4 first quarter to take command. But once on top, pressure continued as Joggintothebank took up the chase. They raced one-two to three-quarters but Palmers Pride was game and rebuffed the challenge.
