Eternal Lee tipped off cover out of the final turn and roared through the stretch to score in Thursday’s (July 14) $133,982 Pennsylvania Sires Stake at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows. Luisella captured the other division in the event, known as the Stenographer, for three-year-old trotting fillies.
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.
