Page 12 — Halton Hills This Week; Wednesday, March 31, 1993 Racing is fast and furious at Mohawk track By Kathy Wade Vlaar Special The racing action was fast and furious at Mohawk last weekend as the Youthful Series, free for all trot and pace, and Graduate simulcast provided first-class harness racing at the ille oval. One of the more memorable wins’ was in Saturday night’s $25,000 Free For All Pace. Trainer Joe Stutzman’s Abdul Kerim, a six- year-old son of Springer, paced to a 1:56 victory for driver Doug Abdul was one of a few survivors from Mohawk’s tragic barn fire last “is fact that Abdul survived that event is in itself somewhat of a mir- acle but the fact he was able to return to the racing scene and regain his familiar winning form is even more of a miracle. After an extended time off after the Mohawk Fire, Abdul went on to have a very successful campaign and completed the year with 11 wins in 26 starts and $114,000 on 4 year. To date this year, Abdul has scored three wins in ten outings and banked just over $50,000 for his owners which include Stutzman, (92 HYUNDAI SCOUPE) PER MONTH fCOuMITTE ro QUALITY | Per axle installed.
