Aquarius leg splits

On a snowy Saturday evening All Over The Place and Jenna's Choice captured their respective $35,000 Aquarius Series divisions at the Meadowlands.



All Over The Place, with Ron Pierce in the sulky, zoomed to the lead past the half in :57.3 and held off the late rally of I Zee to win the first divisionin 1:53.1. It was nearly five lengths back to Zooka in third.



It was the first win in four starts this season for All Over The Place, a 4-year-old Artsplace gelding trained by Mark Ford and owned by Martin Scharf of Lawrence, N. Y. As a sophomore, All Over The Place hit the board in 12 of 18 starts for earnings of just less than $300,000.



In the second division Jenna's Choice caught the pacesetter Isle Of Patmos at the wire for a neck victory. Roddy's Bags Again sat a second-over trip and rallied for third.



Driven by Brian Sears and trained by Mark Silva, Jenna's Choice paced the mile in 1:52.1 over a track rated good. Silva shares ownership of the gelding with Cliff Pattick of Montvale, N.J., and Daniel Borgo of Randolph, N. J.



It was only the second start since April 2005 for Jenna's Choice, who missed most of his sophomore season due to a fractured right hind pastern. Prior to his injury, he was the favorite heading into the 2005 Berry's Creek final after capturing the Junior Trendsetter, Matt's Scooter and Robert J. Suslow series finals, plus his Berry's Creek elimination.
