Son of Lazarus N edges rivals in three way photo finish

HARRINGTON, DE – Andrew Glassmeyer’s Mr. Three O Five ($4.60, Montrell Teague) was a 1:52.3 winner in the $22,500 Open Pace Monday at Harrington Raceway.

It was the 5th win of the year for the 5-year-old Lazarus N stallion, who is trained by his owner and equaled his lifetime best. Captaincountrystar took the early lead from Joker On Jack, who yielded in the pocket, to a speedy opening quarter mile in 26.3 seconds. Captaincountrystar then faced pressure from first-over Mr. Three O Five to a half-mile in 55.4 seconds. Captaincountrystar took the field to three-quarters in 1:23.3 but started to tire near the wire as Mr. Three O Five and Wager On Me had the most momentum and surged to the wire with Mr. Three O Five prevailing narrowly in a three-way photo. Wager On Me was second with Captaincountrystar third.
