Armbro Doyle remained king-of-the-trotting-hill at Vernon Downs following a 1:56.2 victory in Friday night’s $11,000 featured ninth race
.
Fresh off a 1:57.2 triumph in last Saturday’s Miracle Mile-1 class at Vernon, Armbro Doyle raced as if he was the best and proved it with a front striding, 1-1/2 score over Skads Winner in this week’s top trotting test. As second choice in the wagering, he paid $7.20 to win.
Chuck Connor, Jr. drove for owner and trainer Scott West as the seven-year-old son of King Conch-Accompaniment secured his third season’s score (all at the Downs) and 18th overall, while lifting his career earnings to nearly $280,000.
Armbro Doyle and Southwind Samurai remained tied at 1:54.4 for the meet’s fastest trotting miles after 37 programs.
