Trained
by Taylor Gower and driven by Hall of Famer Cat Manzi, the gelded son of
Revenue eclipsed the Green Acres gelding record of 1:58 set by Spat One in 2002.
Melady’s
Monet had won all three of his New Jersey Sire Stakes preliminary legs for a
clean sweep of the series. He finished a length and three quarters ahead
of Muscolo in second and five lengths ahead of Kingstone in third. Both
are sons of Muscles Yankee.
Melady’s
Monet now has seven wins, four seconds and three thirds from 20 starts this
year. His career bankroll for owner-breeder Luca Balenzano of Pompano
Beach, FL is $62,223.
This
was the final New Jersey Sire Stakes of the 2012 season.
