In a non-wagering event before the first race on the nightly
card, Krivelin and High Pan Tolerance were looped on the first turn by
Peter Gerry and Drill Sergeant Sam but as the field headed to the
quarter pole Krivelin gunned his trotter to the front and once on top they were
never seriously challenged .
High Pan Tolerance had two lengths on the field at the
third stanza and it was opened to three lengths when the photo-finish
camera snapped as they finished ahead of runner-up Winterleebrook and
driver George Newell. Third place went to Guiding Light driven by Dave
Yarock.
“He’s a Caddy (Cadillac) to drive,” Krivelin said of High
Pan Tolerance, “He can leave or race from behind. He’ll do whatever is asked of
him and he’s got a pretty good motor, too.”
The two-track NAADA trotting series returns to Monticello
Raceway next Thursday November 1. Drivers in the series earn points according
to their placings in each preliminary leg. The top eight get a chance to
compete in the $12,00 series finale in mid-November.
