Austin Siegelman wins 4 at Monticello Raceway on Thursday February 22


Austin Siegelman has always danced to a different beat, today was no different.  Taking advantage of the absence of leading drivers James DeVaux Bruce Aldrich Jr, the young 25-year-old Siegelman reeled off 4 winners on the afternoons 9 race card.

The first winner of the day came mid-way in the card in race 4 aboard Musical Romance ($6.30) from post 3 for trainer Robert Lounsbury in 2:02.  Siegelman then won the 2 next races in succession with Cundalini from the rail in 2:01.3 and Sheer Action (PP6) in 2:01.1  The 4th win of the card came in the last race with the favorite Oneisalonleynumber in 2:00.4 for trainer James Siegelman, who enjoyed a training double.  

With the 4 wins, it gives Siegelman a seasonal tally of 31 wins, within striking distance of overtaking Bruce Aldrich who is currently in second place with 32 wins.
