The pair of Long Tom twin fillies, who were foaled on Jan. 30, are doing terrific, according to harness racing breeder Jerry Welch of Waterford, Ohio. The two now-4-month-old daughters out of the Call Toll Free mare Call Them Over t, 4, 2:04h ($23,520) are growing up, says Welch, as they remain at Andy Burkholder’s
Breeder Jerry Welch, who raises and races harness horses from his 102-acre farm in Waterford, Ohio, was just a bit worried about his broodmare Call Them Over (Call Toll Free) t, 4, 2:04h ($23,520). It was late January, and the husky broodmare, who was in foal to Long Tom, was due to foal, and was

Larry Ferrari took no prisoners and sent Go Go George down the road in progress to a 1:56.4 victory in the Great Lakes Amateur Drivers Association (GLADA) Trot on Saturday (May 15) at Northfield Park. It marked the second-consecutive week that Ferrari and Go Go George were victorious in the series.

After Quadrangle looped Rockefella Lindy Go Go George opened two-and-a-half lengths on the field, and he needed every inch as his strides began to shorten when he neared the finish line. At the wire, Go Go George was a neck winner over Rockefella Lindy. Third place went to Crime Fighter, in rein to Eddie Miller.
