There were three divisions of the second leg for the John Mongeon Sr. Memorial Trotting Series contested on Monday afternoon (May 17) at Saratoga Casino Hotel. Trotters had their final chance to acquire points towards punching tickets to the $30,000-plus final.
The leg-one dominant force cemented his series favourite status as Dewey Arnold again proved much the best. The Dave Dewhurst trainee came into leg two on a four-race win streak and left it with five-consecutive victories under his belt. Jimmy Devaux piloted the three-year-old to yet another decisive, front-stepping romp in his $10,000 division of the series as he stopped the timer in a dazzling 1:55.4. Battle Queen finished second to Dewey Arnold for the second-consecutive week and locked her spot in next week’s Final. Dewey Arnold gave Devaux one of his five driving wins on the matinee program.
