Ppk5/8 - Pavia Shut Out, Sunshine Pro-Am Challenge Set

Although he drove in all but of a pair of the ten races on Saturday night, Joe Pavia Jr. did not find the winner's circle. He remains three wins away from the 5,000 lifetime driving win milestone. Pavia is slated for four drives on the Monday evening, March 12 program.

  
When racing resumes on Monday evening, March 12, it's the start of the two night Sunshine Pro-Am Challenge at the South Florida venue. Pompano drivers Bruce Ranger, Wally Hennessey, John Campagnuolo and Jamie Marra will be pitted against Cal-Expo reinsman Luke Plano, Rick Bertrand, Steve Wiseman and Dave Siegel for three races each night. Individual and team prizes will be awarded from the two night competition covering six races. The trio of Pro-Am races will kick off the Pick-4 wager on the two programs and will be followed by a pair of Driving Legends Races, with the lifetime win totals for the ten reinsman involved coming in at more than 64,000. Pompano's weeknight Pick-4 is part of the United States Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program with a $5,000 guaranteed pool. Free past performances, along with free handicapping and blogs for the two programs are being made available for this special occasion by www.trackmaster.com .
