Deftly avoiding any references to Christmas miracles, we simply mention that driver Jeff Gregory had five winners in just eight drives during Yonkers Raceway's 13-race Monday night program.
Gregory won the evening's first three races including a sweep of the Daily Double with Yankee Rocketeer (1:55.2) and Ultra Star (2:00.2).
Sign Of A Ditch (1:58.1) stuck his tongue out on the money in the third race to give Gregory, who took next the four races off, the driving triple.
He picked up right where left off in the eighth race, going the distance with Bunk (1:54.4). After a pair of fifth-place finishes in Races 9 and 10, Gregory clicked with Pembroke Cushy (1:54.4) in Race 11.
Gregory is in the midst of his biggest season ever when it comes to purse earnings thanks to an impressive $4,874,118 bankroll.
