Trotters Impress In Meadows Features

Published: January 13, 2020 07:13 pm EST

Explosive Leggs moved determinedly first over, collared the leader, Just Maybe The One, in the shadow of the wire and captured Monday’s co-feature at The Meadows, an $11,500 conditioned trot.

Just Maybe The One threw down a :27.4 third quarter but couldn’t shake Explosive Leggs, who defeated him by a half-length margin in 1:55 for Tony Hall. Lars Perry finished third.

Carl Cocciolone trains the winner, who now boasts career earnings of $257,095, and owns with Mark Sosovicka.

In the other co-feature, also an $11,500 Conditioned Trot, I C Caviar overpowered the field with a 1:55.1 front-end victory for Mike Wilder and trainer John Sullivan, who owns the nine-year-old Malabar Millennium-Lady Caviar gelding with Michael Marocco. I C Caviar pushed his lifetime bankroll to $286,985.

Mike Wilder collected four wins on the 13-race card while Greg Wright, Jr. fashioned a training/driving double.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Tuesday when the program features a $5,000 total-pool guarantee in the Pick 4 (races 3-6). First post is 1:05 p.m.
