Something
that you don’t see very often is 2 dead heats on the same day, this unique
harness racing oddity occurred Tuesday afternoon at Monticello Raceway.
The first
dead heat was in race 6, Blue Line (Bruce Aldrich Jr.) and Rockin In The Hills
(Greg Merton) tripped the time in tandem in 1:58.3, Chip For Real (Bruce
Aldrich Jr.) and See You Friday duplicated the feat 5 race later as the crossed
the wire in unison in 1:58.4.
Also on the
card James Taggart Jr. drove 4 winners, Greg Merton had 3 winners, James Devaux
Michael Merton and Bruce Aldrich Jr each had 2 winners on the afternoon, both
of Aldrich’s win came in each dead heat race. Trainer Dan Gill had 2
winners from his barn, Gill is currently in 4th place for leading
trainers with 34 seasonal wins.
