On a wet and grey Monday afternoon at Monticello Raceway, James Devaux won five of the card's 10 races.
The banner day didn’t start until midway through the card in race five, when Princess Katie (2:02.4 – $2.10) was his afternoon's first winner. Devaux then proceeded to win the next three races in a row with Faithful Friend (2:01.1 - $8.50), Norma Rei (1:59.4 - $3.30) and Rosy Outlook (1:57.4 – $10.40).
Devaux just missed notching his sixth win of the day, losing by a neck in the ninth race.
He won the last race of the day with Sandy Hook Hanover (2:00.4 – $20.40) for trainer Chad Washington.
Devuax, a former two-time dash winner at Monticello Raceway, is currently ranked fourth in the Monticello driving colony with 197 wins.
