Boardwalk Hall wins again

Boardwalk Hall [$3.40, $3.20, $2.40], unbeaten in 2006, extended his winning streak to three by fighting off Spellyuptothebar and posting a 1 1/2-length-victory in 1:56 Wednesday night at the Meadowlands.

Boardwalk Hall, sent off at odds of 3-5, is a Hambletonian-eligible son of Conway Hall – B Cor Tamgo. The full brother to Broadway Hall is driven by Mike Lachance and trained by Ron Gurfein, the same pair who teamed to win three previous Hambletonians – Victory Dream in 1994, Continentalvictory in 1996 and Self Possessed in 1999.

Boardwalk Hall raced parked through the first turn before clearing to the pylons down the backstretch. On the last turn he was challenged, but Lachance sat still and never went to the whip, allowing the colt to fight off his foes for his fourth win in eight lifetime tries. Boardwalk Hall races for the Brittany Farms of Versailles, Kentucky; Sampson Street Stables of Old Forge, Pennsylvania; Jerry Silva of Bellmore, New York and Mathias Meinzinger of Central Islip, New York.
