Wheel Of Fortune Continues

Double Dribble did a double take at the top of the lane, didn’t like what he saw outside and bounced into the Lightning Lane to capture a division of the Wheel Of Fortune

Series at The Meadows. Foolish Attempt also used a late brush Tuesday to take the other $15,000 split of the series for three and four-year-old pacing colts and geldings.

Double Dribble was more than a pair of lengths behind the dueling leaders, Billantes Dream and I Like It Hot, when Aaron Merriman guided him to the outside for the stretch drive. In an instant, though, the 3-2 favourite dived inside and found that route to his liking, drawing off to down Billantes Dream in 1:54.4 over a sloppy track. I Like It Hot was third.

Norm Parker trains Double Dribble, a four-year-old Allamerican Ingot-Lills Dream gelding, for Mike Foote of Barberton, OH.

Foolish Attempt saved ground on the tiring surface, a trip that left him 4 lengths in arrears around the final turn. He unleashed an impressive brush for Brett Miller that carried him to a nose victory over the first-up Expensive Toy in 1:56, with Up Front Mustang third.

Jim Rothfuss trains and owns Foolish Attempt, a four-year-old I Am A Fool-Keystone Musical gelding who notched his second consecutive Wheel Of Fortune triumph.
