Lolique and A Gentleman scored wins in the Open I and Open II Trot races at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs Tuesday night.
In the $30,000 Open I Trot, Lolique, driven by John Wagner, sat fourth for almost three-quarters of the mile before making a three-wide move coming down the stretch to win in 1:53.2 over a track listed as "good" with a light rain falling on and off.
Baby Boy Grin (Larry Stalbaum) set the table for Lolique and took the eight-horse field of Open trotters to an opening split in :27.2, the half in :56.1 and three-quarters in 1:24.2. Baby Boy Grin finished second in this race with third going to Tom’s OK Lady (Joe Pavia Jr.), who was second throughout most of the race.
Lolique, also trained by Wagner, won for the 13th time in 2009 with earnings of more than $275,000.
Similar to Lolique, Tom Jackson sat third for most of the mile with A Gentleman before winning by three-quarters of a length over Super Chuck (Pavia), the front runner in the Open II race. Third in this trot was Swan Image (Kevin Sizer). The time was 1:54.4.
