Miller takes two in series

After last week's Sunday afternoon card was canceled due to the major snowstorm that struck the Northeast, the first of the matinee programs at the Meadowlands was contested Sunday afternoon, Feb. 19, with four divisions of the opening round of the one-week delayed Senior Trendsetter Series. David Miller was successful in two of the heats, directing Cut Loose Hanover and Jazzbro Brown to victories.
