The hot combination of driver Tom Jackson, trainer Fred Grant, and owner-breeder Russell Williams continued their recent success with trotting two-year-olds on Monday (Aug. 2) at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, visiting “Victory Lane” with a pair of fillies.
There were four $11,700 events scheduled for two-year-olds at the mountain oval, one for each combination of sex and gait. The Bar Hopping-Melusine miss Luisella remained undefeated through two starts by speeding to victory in her group’s race in 1:56.3, lowering her mark by almost three seconds. Jackson moved Luisella to the lead in front of the stands, circled by early pacesetter Rheia Rose, then came home in :28.2 to keep her rival three lengths behind.
The up-and-coming younger performers attracted the Friday spotlight at Harrah’s Philadelphia, ahead of two consecutive cards with Pennsylvania Sire Stakes races for two-year-olds, with three $12,600 events for the various classifications.
The Somebeachsomewhere sophomore colt Literl Lad Hanover, a Pennsylvania Sire Stakes winner earlier this year, got back on the winning track with a lifetime mark of 1:50.4 going wire-to-wire against the pacing males. Driver George Napolitano, Jr. put the three-year-old quickly on the lead and hung up splits of :27.1, :55.3, and 1:22.3 while boosting his lifetime earnings to $172,611 for the meet’s leading trainer, Ron Burke, and the partnership of Burke Racing Stable LLC and Weaver Bruscemi LLC, J&T Silva- Purnel & Libby, and Wingfield Five LLC.
