Broad Bahn delivers in harness racing

Hambletonian Day belonged to driver George Brennan and a couple of trotters who provided a few surprises on the biggest day in harness racing. Brennan guided Broad Bahn to a pace-setting 31/4-length victory in the $1.5 million Hambletonian for colts and geldings in East Rutherford, N.J. His trip to the winner’s circle Saturday came a little more than a half hour after the driver piloted long-shot Bold and Fresh to an upset in the $750,000 Hambletonian Oaks for fillies. Favored Manofmany- missions and driver Andy Miller challenged Broad Bahn and Brennan in the stretch, but the race was all but decided when Manofmanymissions went off stride and finished eighth. Brennan is the second driver to win the Oaks and Hambletonian on the same day. – Associated Press
