It may have been a snowy Thursday night in East Rutherford, New Jersey but that did little to stop the hot hands of The Buckeye, Dave Miller. By night’s end, Miller won 5 of 10 races on the card.
Miller swept the Daily Double, a sequence that included a very impressive win by Jurgen Hanover, a young trotter with plenty of upside. Jurgen Hanover took back, tracked cover, loomed up three-wide, and stormed home to a seven-length victory.
In addition to that popular win, Miller swept both divisions of the Rags To Riches Series as Tamayo wore down favoured Cambassador to kick off the Late Pick 4, while Hopskipanajump similarly drove past favoured Cane Ridge to take the second division.
The snow couldn’t slow down the positive wagering trend at the Meadowlands either. The total handle of $2,092,806 showed an increase of 20% over the $1,750,402 wagered on this same Thursday in 2012.
Racing resumes on Friday with the second leg of the Horse and Groom Series. Post Time is 7:15 p.m.
