Classic Banker Upsets At The Meadows
Classic Banker stalked Classicality from the pocket, then knifed through the slop in the lane to pull off the 24-1 upset in Monday’s $20,000 Open I Handicap Trot at The Meadows.
Although Classic Banker won last week’s featured trot at 22-1, he was given even less respect at the windows Monday. But Brady Brown gave the 9-year-old Classic Photo-Banker’s Review gelding the perfect trip, as the pair downed the rallying Barn Girl by a length in 1:54.1. Classicality saved show.
Joe Urban owns and trains Classic Banker, who extended his career bankroll to $273,615.
Tony Hall collected three wins on the 13-race card, including a pair for trainer Rich Gillock and owner/breeder Bob Key.
