Sauce Two K won the fastest of four $12,500 opening-round divisions of the Super Bowl Trotting Series Thursday at the Meadowlands with the 4-year-old son of Valley Victor crossing the wire three lengths in front in 1:56.1 for Brian Sears, one of five winner�s circle trips for the driver.

The time was a career best for the Richard Johnson trainee and kept his record perfect in six career starts. Making his first pari-mutuel start at Balmoral Park last November, Sauce Two K won four straight at the Chicago track before arriving in New Jersey where he won his debut at the Big M on Jan. 3. Sauce Two K is owned by Vito Ducci, Michael Deutsch and Anthony Ambrosio.

Yannick Gingras directed Brooke Blue Chip to a career-best 1:56.2 victory in a second split of the Super Bowl Series. Gingras sat second with Brooke Blue Chip behind Sir Spitsbergen and driver Sears until the stretch where he was able to edge past and reach the wire a head in front.

The 4-year-old daughter of Credit Winner is owned by Richard Hallahan and trained by Ken Andersen. She ended her 3-year-old season with a victory at Freehold and started her 4-year-old campaign with a win over that same half-mile track before her start in the Super Bowl.

Worldclass Guy rallied from behind to win the third Super Bowl division in 1:57.3 for driver Steve Smith. The son of Conway Hall is now perfect in two starts in 2008 after going winless in eight attempts last year as a sophomore. Kelly Stackowicz owns and trains Worldclass Guy.

The last division went to Hanky�s Hooray, who won by 5 � lengths in 1:57 flat. The win was the seventh in 11 career starts for the 4-yaer-old gelded son of Chip Chip Hooray. Daniel Dube drove for trainer Chuck Sylester and owner Wingedfoot Farms.

Three $12,500 divisions of the opening round of the White Ruffles Series for 4-year-old mare pacers were also contested on the card, with Fox Valley Sarong earning speed-badge honors with her winning 1:53.2 effort.

Sears urged Fox Valley Sarong to the victory, her fifth in 26 career starts. The daughter of Incredible Finale is trained by Kelvin Harrison for owners Diamond Creek Farm and Brian Walkington.

Marietta Hall was a 1:53.3 winner in her White Ruffles division for driver Andy Miller and trainer Erv Miller. The win was the fifth in 15 career starts for the daughter of Cambest owned by Bulletproof Enterprises.

Driver Eric Goodell gambled with a first-over trip behind Play At Wynn and the strategy paid off with a half-length victory in 1:54. The time was a career best for the daughter of Million Dollar Cam trained by Josh Green and owned by Debbie Avery. She now has four wins, four seconds and a third in 13 career starts.
