PPK5/8 - Top Trot To Jaavos Boy

The last edition of Florida's top weekly trot in 2011 went to the gate on December 28 with Jaavos Boy a dominating winner in 1:54.4. David Ingraham was in the bike to send the 5 year old S J's Photo-Hayworth Hanover gelding through fractions of 27.2, 56.0, and 1:25.0 enroute to his 6th win in 33 trips this year for season's earnings of $103,875. In the event handicapped by earnings in the last five starts, the pocket-sitting Keystone Thomas driven by Bruce Ranger followed in for second and Master Solutions in rein to Ricky Macomber Jr. was third. Barry Probber conditions Jaavos Boy for the Probber Morse Stable of Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
