The fairytale continued for Lucky Jim as he extended his streak to 10 wins against the sport’s top older trotters in the $200,000 Arthur J. Cutler Memorial Saturday night at the Meadowlands.
Lucky Jim [$2.80, $2.40, $2.40] and driver Andy Miller sat second over behind Enough Talk who pressed Arch Madness through hot middle fractions of 55.1 and 1:23.4. As his cover folded, Miller unleashed Lucky Jim who soared to the wire in a stakes record 1:52.1. Corleone Kosmos [$4.00, $4.00] rallied off a third-over trip to finish second, while Michaelrowyourboat [$10.00] closed from sixth to grab the show spot in the night’s fifth race. “He’s a good horse and a couple of them wanted to follow him,” Miller said, “so I was able to slip out there in the first turn. At the top of the stretch he felt loaded and I was just hoping that he could get me there.” Winless in nine starts at three, Lucky Jim is undefeated since entering trainer Julie Miller’s barn in January. His 10-race streak is a record for most consecutive wins in a single season by a trotter at the Meadowlands. Earlier this season, he equaled the 1:51.3 world record for a 4-year-old gelding on a mile track. Lucky Jim’s victory boosted his career total to 12 in 30 career starts. He has banked more than $250,000 this season, for total earnings of $359,028. Pennsylvanians David and John Prushnok and William Gregg own the 4-year-old son of SJ’s Photo. (Meadowlands)
