Eastman who won three previous races since the 2017 season began and placed among the top finishers in another three races, returned one hour 17 minutes .04 seconds to win yesterday’s 35-miler and in the process, won four of the eight prime prizes that were up for grabs. The other four primes were won by third place finisher Jamal John.
