Goodbye Daddy wires Rosecroft Featured Field
FT. WASHINGTON, MD – As the even-money choice by post time, Goodbye Daddy [$4.20, $2.80, $2.10] trotted gate-to-wire in the $4,200 Winner’s Over event at Rosecroft Raceway on Friday night, scoring his first victory of the season.
Driven by owner Frank Milby, Goodbye Daddy took the lead off of the gate, trotting through fractions of 28.1, 59.2 and 1:29.0 to win in 1:58.1. Don Milby trains the six-year-old Master Lavec gelding, which has banked around $122,000 lifetime to date.
Four Starz Eye Van [$3.60, $2.60], parked to the quarter after leaving the gate from post seven, finished second – only a length and a quarter off of the winner. Driven by Jonathan Roberts for owner-trainer Billy Hobbs, the five-year-old Yankee Glide horse trotted to the wire with a 29.1 last quarter.
Eagle Road [$3.00] closed out the $149.00 trifecta with Victor Kirby at his lines. Owned and trained by Andrew Markano, the five-year-old CR Commando gelding sat in the pocket for a perfect trip.
