Coppola and Prime Interest win again

 Return Home
December 12, 2009 Send To A Friend  | Print View

It was business as usual on Friday night at Saratoga Gaming and Raceway for Frank Coppola, Jr. and the Open trotter Prime Interest: The tandem teamed up for their 14th Open win of the season, overcoming post eight to record a wire-to-wire win in the $15,000 feature.

Coppola pointed the defending Saratoga Raceway Horse of the Year right to the lead, and they would never face a challenge. The race’s favorite, Shutter Boy, made a break at the start, leaving Prime Interest to go wire-to-wire.

The win, which came in 1:57.1, put the sensational trotter over the $146,000 earnings mark on the season for owner Vince Laurenzo of Clifton Park, N.Y. and leading Saratoga trainer Colin Johnson.

Coppola and Johnson would team for another pair of winners on the card, as Fancy Chip and Lunar Stream recorded Friday night victories.

Coppola, who is padding is record for wins by a driver in one local season, piloted five winners on the card. (Saratoga)
