Aaron Mansfield of North Strabane advanced to the Thursday qualifying rounds of the ReMax World Long Drive Championships, winning all three of his qualifying sets.
Mansfield had the third longest drive of Monday’s competition at 387 yards. The 2010 World Champion Joe Miller of England delivered the two longest drives of the qualifiers at 393 and 392 yards. The top 8 finalists will compete for a $250,000 winner-take-all purse Oct. 30 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It will be televised live on The Golf Channel.
Completing a near-perfect freshman season, Nitro Nittany rolled to a 7-1/2-length victory in the fastest division of Wednesday’s Keystone Classic at The Meadows. The $120,000 event for 2-year-old filly trotters was conducted over four divisions, with Cantabs Fortune, Noon Tea Party and Juniata Hanover taking the other splits.
Nitro Nittany won five of six starts, with the only blemish a 1/2-length loss in a Pennsylvania Stallion Series stake, but she bounced back to capture the PA Stallions championship. Trainer-driver Jim Raymer, who owns the daughter of Explosive Matter-Miss Nittany as part of Harbor Racing Stable, said he kept her schedule softer than she might have been able to handle.
“You have to keep after her, being as sizable as she is,” Raymer said. “She gets sore. Two weeks between starts worked out well for her. We probably should look at that for all Standardbreds. Thoroughbreds aren’t all that wrong when they take 30 days to race a horse back.
