Grismore wins five more

Greg Grismore, quickly making a name for himself since relocating from Ohio, relocated to the winner's circle five times during Wednesday night's 13-race program at Yonkers Raceway.

Grismore, who had just seven drives, began the proceedings with Petey's Tweety ($24.60) in the $8,000 pacing opener. He then won the $8,000 seventh-race trot with the aptly-named Seven Habits ($6.20), the $6,500, eighth-race pace with Rustina ($8), the $9,500, ninth-race pace with Tussy Mussy ($13.40) and the $8,000, 11th-race pace with 17-1 Joyous Classic ($36.80).

Other bombadiers of note were Mike Sorentno Jr., who escorted It's Decision Time to a 40-1 ($83.50) victory in the $5,000, sixth-race pace and 7-1 Blu Meadow Tara ($16.40) in the $5,000, fourth-race pace; and Larry Stalbaum, who sat behind I Need New Nykes' $64.50 surprise in the $6,500, 10th-race pace as well as 8-1 Fancy Muffler ($19) in the $4,000, third-race pace.

Veteran driver Rejean Daigneault ended a 56-race seasonal schneid when Great Thunder ($14.20) was a come-from-behind winner in the $9,500 fifth-race trot. (Yonkers)
