John Horne for Vernon
Downs
Credit List (Justin
Hackabone) goes from last to first to capture the $7,000 Open Trot at Vernon
Downs on Saturday (May22).
Spoiler Alert (Truman Gale) went straight to
the front and led to the first quarter in :28.2. He used a :29.0 second quarter to hit the
half in :57.2. Beyond Kronos (Dylan
Huckabone-Miller) was first to make a move and challenged Spoiler Alert all the
way around the final turn. Spoiler Alert
maintained a short lead to three-quarters in 1:25.3.
Credit List ($3.90) found
himself last at the half and last at three-quarters. Beyond Kronos wrestled the lead away at the
top of the stretch. Credit List just
came flying down the stretch and passed them all to win in 1:55.2. Beyond Kronos had to settle for second. The always tough American JJ (Michael Miller)
finished third.
Credit List is a
6-year-old gelding by Credit Winner. He
is owned by Jonathan Applebaum and trained by Huckabone. It was his eighth win this season. He now has 19 career victories.
Joe Nassimos was
trainer-driver for two wins on the card.
John MacDonald and Leon Bailey each had driving doubles with Bruce Lauer
getting a training double. 76-year-old
Miriam Toland found the winner’s circle once again with her faithful horse
Fleetwood Hall.
Vernon Downs returns to
live racing on Friday (May 28) with a post time of 6:10 p.m.
