Hensley drives to series double at The Meadows

Parked the first three-eighths of the mile, Ultimate Desire showed his heart and talent by drawing off to win his second-straight in the Vesuvio Grande Pacing Series for 3-year-old colts and geldings on Tuesday at The Meadows. Monster Dragon took the other $15,000 division, giving Ed Hensley a driving sweep of the second leg.

Ultimate Desire, who romped last week by 7 1/4 lengths, was sent off the 1-2 favorite. But post position nine and the sloppy track conspired to keep him wide. Once on the lead, he thwarted the first-over thrust of Battleship Kelly and prevailed by 2 3/4 lengths, in 1:55.4. Allamerican Sweep closed well for place, with Promiscuous third.

Hensley trains Ultimate Desire, a son of Real Desire-Bolero Ultima, for Pamela and Hei Mitchell.

Monster Dragon enjoyed a pocket trip behind Mobile, and then brushed past that rival in the lane to triumph by a nose in 1:54.4. Pepperwood Pete was third. William Rhoades trains Monster Dragon, a gelded son of Dragon Again-Hockey Fan, for Charles and Donna Martin.

The series final is set for next Tuesday. Tony Hall drove four winners on the 14-race card. (The Meadows)
