At Monticello Raceway on Monday afternoon October 29, an
anomaly of sorts took place, 2 (P) Provisional Drivers both notched their
maiden driving wins in back to back races. In race 3, 22-year-old Christopher
Doherty got his first win in only his 3rd P drive, aboard Sheer
Action who won by 4 lengths in 2:00.4 and paid $6.20 to win for trainer Jim
Doherty Jr.
In the next race, 25-year-old Philip Lacorte III driving for
just the 9th time in his young career, scored his maiden win with a
5 length, wire to wire score with J Danae in 2:02.1 and paid $4.90, the
7-year-old Nuclear Legacy mare is also trained by Lacorte III.
