Pierce & Green Celebrate Five Baggers At Dover

It would be hard to blame trainer Josh Green and driver Ron Pierce for not wanting to see the Monday evening card at Dover Downs considering they had five wins apiece

.

Interestingly, the only time Pierce and Green teamed up to win was with Yes Hanover (1:52.1) in the ninth race.

Pierce’s other winners were Rare Bunny (1:55.4), P H Breakaway (1:52.1), Livestrong (1:52.2) and Caerleon Hanover (1:52.2).

Green enjoyed his five win performance thanks in part to scores with Herzon (1:54.2), Mattnifesto (1:53.3), Steeler (1:51.4) and Incredible Art (1:53.3).

Pierce figures to hit two major milestones – 7,000 career wins and $150 million in earnings - later this season. He current checks in with 6,815 victories and purses earnings in excess of $147 million.

Green, who put up career numbers for wins (287) and earnings ($4.5 million) in 2008 is off to a very quick start to his 2009 campaign. The resident of Harrington, Delaware, who is batting a .574 UTR this year, has watched 12 of his 24 starters hit the winner’s circle.
