Four In A Row For Classicality

Classicality was able to handle the outermost post in the tenth race $20,000 featured handicap trot Sunday evening (October 22) at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, tallying in 1:54.2 for his fourth straight victory.

Driver Marcus Miller dexterously worked out a second-over trip for the seven-year-old Classic Photo gelding despite starting from post eight, followed the cover of race favourite and 2014 Peter Haughton winner Centurion ATM as that one worked to the lead at head-stretch, then tipped wider and stayed strong to take the decision by a neck.

Lisa Dunn is the owner and trainer of the versatile Classicality, who now has a lifetime bankroll of $494,142.

In the previous race, Penniman overcame early interference and went right to the lead, then held off a foe to either side late to light up the tote board with a $90.60 win mutuel. Trainer Aaron Johnston drove the victorious sophomore altered son of Yankee Glide, who broke his maiden in 1:57.4 for owner Richard Hess.
