There s the adage of when you re hot, you re hot , and that is just exactly what Go Go George is after having won the $8,400 GLADA trot again at Northfield Park. With Larry Ferrari at the controls on Saturday (May 22), they stopped the clock at 1:56.1 for the veteran trotter s fourth win in his last six starts.
Understandably sent as the favourite from post 2 in the nine-horse field, Ferrari wasted little time sending George to the lead from the two-hole when the starter said “go” and they reached the first stanza in :28.3. When Floyd Rhodes moved Back Door Man off the pylons to challenge for the lead, the two trotters raced side-by-side past the half in :59, and they were noses apart when they trotted by the three quarters in 1:28.
