Oh K Man Coasts In Northville Open

Oh K Man and driver Marc St. Louis Jr. grabbed command just past the quarter pole from Lying In Cash and driver Jason Merriman, and never looked back to capture Saturday night's $10,800 featured Open Handicap Pace at Northville Downs.

The nine-year-old horse set fractions of :27, :55.4, 1:23.4 and a final clocking of 1:53.1, holding off a late surge from Commander Bob and David Lake to win by a half-length while Lying In Cash settled for third. This marked the 45th victory for Oh K Man and pushed his career earnings to $312,471.

Oh K Man is owned by Julie Neil and trained by Danielle St. Louis.

Lindsay Moen had a driving triple while Kody Massey, Kim Pluta and David Lake had driving doubles. Karen Tkaczyk and Paul Cloer Jr. had training doubles.

Racing at "The Ville" resumes Friday, June 9 at 7 p.m. (EDT). Friday night is dollar night with $1 live programs, $1 pop, $1 popcorn, $2 hot dogs and beer, as well as hamburger and cheeseburger specials.
