EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Driver Pat
Berry reached a milestone victory plateau and one of the Meadowlands’ more
popular wagers resulted in a giant payoff in action at the mile oval Saturday
night.
Berry, 43, who has $39 million in
career earnings, won the 4,000th race of his career in the third
race behind 26-1 shot Revelry. The best year of the former Chicagoland
horseman’s career came in 2007, when he won 508 races, good for earnings of
$4.7 million.
Revelry and another longshot, 36-1
chance Mindtrip, won legs three and four, respectively, of the 50-cent Pick-5,
which resulted in a one-ticket winner cashing in for $33,873. The winning
combination was 5-7-7-7-1.
