Triple For Tetrick; Handle Tops $2 Million

Published: February 1, 2013 12:08 am EST

Tim Tetrick proved to be the man on Thursday night at the Meadowlands, winning three races on the 10-race card.

Two of Tetrick’s three wins produced winners at generous odds as Pilatus (6-1) and Through The Night (11-1) both made trips to the winner’s circle for The Bionic Man. Yannick Gingras also won two races on the card, bringing him within two of David Miller for the lead in the driver standings.

Amateur Driver Kelly Walker won the Amateur Drivers Billings Series Prep with Jedrik Hanover despite being forced to race from post ten. Walker will be Sam McKee’s “In The Sulky” guest on the Friday pre-game show at The Meadowlands.

On the wagering front, it was another first for The Meadowlands. The total handle of $2,062,811 was the first Thursday that surpassed $2 million this year. It was an increase of 10% from the $1,877,484 wagered on this same Thursday one year ago. Most impressively, it was the first Thursday night of racing that produced a $2 million handle since April 29, 2010.
