Courtesy of a 1:57:2 victory at Monticello Raceway yesterday afternoon, Mr Thinker now has nine consecutive victories and is just one shy of the track record of 10 set in 2008 by Hogies Cam and driver Jordan Stratton.
In yesterday's assignment, Zeke Parker again drove Mr Thinker to victory for owner-trainer Brian O’Neill. The 10-year-old hasn’t tasted defeated since he finished second on April 15.
“He’s a game old ‘hoss’ and he loves to race,” Parker said. “Even though he missed a week (he didn’t race last week) he still went a good trip. He came the last quarter in a 28-and-a-piece and we won it pretty [easily].”
The son of Glowing Tribute has won 45 of his 147 career races and has earned more than $278,000 in purses.
