The month of
December seems to be to Jim Devaux’s liking, it was only 10 days ago that he
won 5 races on the afternoon. On Thursday afternoon December 27, Devaux
did it again. The wins started in Race 2 where he scored with RCS Ready
(2:04.1-$9.70) for trainer Wesley Miller. It is rare to see Devaux go off at
odds of 30/1, as he pulled off a shocker with NY Whitesox in 1:58 and paid
$63.50. Jim came right back in the next race and visited the winners
circle with Quality Closer in the Winner Over event, scoring an easy 6 length
win in 1:54.4 for Monica Banca, Zack Lee won the 10th race for owner
Gary Haas in 1:57 - $5.50. Drive Em Cowboy capped off the 5 bagger in race 11
to win in 1:57.2 and paid $13.20 for win. Devaux just missed his 6th
winner of the day but fell short finishing second in the last race.
The 5 wins
added to DeVaux’s yearly tally, giving him 211 wins at Monticello Raceway,
placing him 4th in for leading dash winners and $796,076 in
earnings, over $776,000 was wagered on the 12-race card.
