Pantaleano Six Pack, 'Justice' Hat Trick

Published: August 27, 2018 07:45 pm EDT

Jim Pantaleano was on fire during Monday's program at The Meadows as a result of collecting six wins for as many trainers on the 13-race card.

Pantaleano scored for conditioners Scott Betts, Paul Kennedy, Christen Pantaleano, Richard Perfido, Justin Pirillo and Todd Rooney.

In Monday’s $18,000 Preferred Handicap Trot, Call For Justice was refreshed by a :29.1 second-quarter breather and rolled to his third straight victory — and fifth in the last seven. Call For Justice reached the point from post 6 in :28.1, well within his comfort zone. But when Dave Palone slowed things down the second panel, the six-year-old son of Justice Hall-Mikas Mazurka was well nigh uncatchable. He downed the pocket-sitting PL Jericho by 2-1/2 lengths in 1:53.3, with Classic Banker a ground-saving third.

Ron Burke trains Call For Justice, who now boasts $535,067 in career earnings, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.
