Bruce Aldrich Jr. still on a roll, wins 6

 When the day started, Bruce had 146 driving wins thus far in 2015, which ranks him 4^th in the nation, by the end of the day he added 6 more, upping his tally to 152. He currently leads the Monticello Raceway Driver colony with 119 wins and is in 2^nd place at Saratoga Raceway with 24 wins.  Mother Nature continued her cruel streak as the card was marked with intermitted snow squalls, the track condition started off as good and then later in the card was downgraded to sloppy.

Always a good indicator on what kind of day Bruce is going to have are the first 2 legs of the Daily Double. It was to be a very good day, as Bruce swept both ends of the Daily Double, scoring with Magic Manny in the first and then right back with One Tough Hombre, for trainer Thomas Merton, both with winning times of 1:57:2, The Aldrich double returned $6.80. Bruce came right back to win in the 3^rd race with Fools Run Around.  With no drive in the 4^th, Bruce won the 5^th with Giddyallyougot by a scant nose over Paulimony and driver Jim Taggart Jr. The 6^th race looked like a mortal lock with morning line favorite Priority, but after cutting the mile he finished 3^rd.  In the 9th race, he teamed up with leading trainer Bob Lounsbury, with the 8 year old Badlands Hanover’s gelding Amazing Quest in 1:58:1.  In the card’s finale he scored a wire to wire win with Catman Dude.  When reached in the paddock after his last win, he was posed the question “What does it feel like to win 60% of the days races” Bruce cheerfully replied ”I’m getting good drives, today I was getting to the front easy with soft fractions, so everything worked out for the best” .
