EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Driver Brian
Sears and trainer Ron Burke were on fire Saturday night at The Meadowlands, as
each recorded five winners on the 13-race card.
Three times the pair teamed up to
score, hitting the winner’s circle with Globetrotting ($3.60 to win as the 4-5
favorite) in the fourth race low-end conditioned trot in a lifetime-best
equaling 1:52.4, Bee Two Bee ($5.20 as the 8-5 public choice) in the seventh
race mid-range conditioned pace in a lifetime-best 1:49.1 and Warrawee Ubeaut
($5.40 as the 8-5 favorite) in the ninth race high-end conditioned pace for
fillies and mares in 1:48.4.
Sears’ other victories came with

by George Brennan. De Los Cielos Deo ($2.20 as the 1-9 public choice) took the
second race low-end conditioned pace in 1:49.1 and Patriarch Hanover ($3.40 as
the 3-5 favorite) wired the field in the eighth race mid-range conditioned trot
in 1:53.3.
