A
racing oddity occurred in Friday night’s co-featured Invitational Trot at Cal
Expo Friday night, as half-brothers Franks Best and Inside Broadway dead-heated
for the victory. Both are owned and trained by Bob Johnson.
Franks
Best is a 6-year-old son of Armbro Scribe out of the American Winner mare
Inside Edition, while Inside Broadway is a 4-year-old by Broadway Hall out of
that fine mare. Mooney Svendsen handled Franks Best while James Kennedy was in
the sulky behind Inside Broadway..
Franks Best has a slew of Sire
Stakes trophies on his mantle with $181,000 in the bank and a 1:56 2/5 lifetime
standard that was established last season at Running Aces. He sports three
victories from six appearances at this session. Inside Broadway has posed for
pictures following three of his last four trips to the post at the current
stand and the Johnson performer was a 1:55 3/5 victor at Harrah’s Philadelphia
last season.
