Bob Schlabach's Muscle Sprouts ($4.00) cruised to a comfortable victory in Northfield's $5,500 Open Handicap Trot Saturday night. A crafty drive by Robin Miller secured the win for the ten-year-old Muscles Yankee gelding who missed all of 2008 and 2009. Miller put Muscle Sprouts on the lead and walked (or trotted slowly) to a 1:00.2 opening lap, allowing him to hold off the late bids of Master Buckin Uhl and Giulio. Miller switched gears for the second half of the race, urging the winner home with a 58.1 back half. Muscles Sprouts won for the 4th time in 12 seasonal starts and has now won 26 of 109 lifetime, for a career bankroll of $208,265.(Northfield)
