On the heels of a ten-win week at The Meadowlands, Brett Miller picked up right where he left off on Thursday night.
First, he guided Summer Snow to the winners' circle with a win in a division of the Dash For The "G" Notes in race six, returning $11.00 to win for trainer Jennifer Lappe, who co-owns the mare with Squawk Box Stable. It was Summer Snow's first victory of the season, timed in 1:56.4.
Miller also guided Triple Major to a mild 5-1 upset in the eighth race Thursday night, a $10,000 Claiming Pace. Not only did that win mark a driving double for Miller, but a training double for Jennifer Lappe, who also co-owns this gelding with John Carrington.
Triple Major came into the race with a record of being 0 for his last 44 and 1 for his last 61, making the win for Miller even more impressive.
Lappe wasn’t done either. In addition to her two wins teamed up with Brett Miller, she also won with Lightning Strike in the nightcap with Scott Zeron.
In other "G" Note action, Ace Of Pace scored in the second race in 1:55.2 at odds of 5-2 for John Campbell, one of two wins on the card for harness racing's all time leading driver.
The final division was captured by Bring Them Home with Yannick Gingras at odds of 9-2, one of two wins on the card for Gingras as well.
The fifth race Jackpot Super Hi-5 carryover went unclaimed and resulted in a carryover into the Friday program of $26,227, while the last race carryover stands at $129,347.
