Eddie Miller and Lonnie Graber won their respective $7,800 trotting events hosted by the Great Lakes Amateur Drivers Association on Saturday night (May 1) at MGM Northfield Park.
In the first split, Miller and Cowboy Country hugged the pylons from their back-row start to land in fifth while Curleys Son (Marion Chupp) and Shake It Off Lindy (Don Sherman) sparred for the lead through a :28 first quarter.

But there’s still that other hand. The Space Race of the 1950s and 60s was the result of intense hatred and fear between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Many of the early aims of the program were baldly militaristic rather than scientific. At least one of the leading engineers was a former Nazi.
