North America's Horse of the Year from 2011, San Pail returned to victory lane for the first time since March 2012 on Monday evening at Mohawk Racetrack.

The nine-year-old trotting son of San Pellegrino, who was sidelined for over a year with a right-hind ankle injury, captured the $34,000 Preferred Trot in his second start off the shelf in 1:53.1.

The 52-time winner led from start to finish through panels of :28, :56.4 and 1:24.4, before dashing away from his rivals in deep stretch to score the victory. Knows Nothing (Jody Jamieson) finished second with Catch The Dream (Sylvain Filion) third.

Trained by Rod Hughes for owners Glenn Van Camp and Hughes Stables Inc, San Pail now has $3,102,135 in career earnings. He paid $5.90 to win as the second choice.
