With trainer Mike Deters stepping out of the race bike in favor of Tom Sells the promising trotter Baseball Express was a deserving even money favorite on the Wednesday evening card which played out in a perfect 72 degree setting in South Florida.
The 5-year-old gelding by Conway Hall-Pine Booth controlled things all the way to easily topple eight foes in the NW$3,001 in their last five starts test in 1:56.2. In November, Baseball Express competed in the $13,000 Open Handicap Trot and this return to form signals in a big way he'll soon be on his way up the class ladder again. Ownership is held by Kevin Burch of Springboro, Ohio.
Last week, Fudgjoe upset Baseball Express. This week however, Fudgjoe made a break coming out of the final turn and squandered a pocket trip. Perfect Bubbles with Don Cromer in tow and a Viewtoakill with Fern Paquet Jr. completed the trifecta ticket.
For a second consecutive Wednesday evening program Matt Kakaley reined in three winners. These included claiming pacers Kaa Dee Elmo, Hose Me Down and AG's Escape. Andy Santeramo had the distinction of both a training and driving double on the program with claiming pacer Born With Class and claiming trotter Peacelovenjoy. (Pompano Park)
