Driver Billy Dobson and trainer Monica Krist teamed to take both $10,000 divisions of the second prelim for the JP Morel Memorial Pacing Series at Saratoga Casino Hotel on Saturday, April 27.

Mantario returned off a win in the series last week to post a 1:55.1 win by open lengths. Dobson and Krist then got beaten-favourite Energyzone Hanover to the winner's circle with a 1:55 win by four lengths.

The final of the seventh-annual JP Morel Memorial Pacing Series, a late closer for five-year-olds and younger, will take place next Saturday night (May 4th) and is set to be contested for a purse of $32,000.

Live racing continues on Sunday, April 28 at Saratoga with a first post time set for 12:00 p.m.
