DAYTON, OH. – Harness racing driver Brett Miller was not cold at all at Hollywood Dayton Raceway Monday afternoon, in fact he was red hot, scoring five straight wins.
Miller's hot streak started in Race 2 and extended through Race 6 as he relentlessly guided "chalky" horses to victories one race after another for five different trainers.
Paydaze A Rockin (trainer Roy Murphy Jr., 1:55.3, $5.80) started the win parade followed by trotter Serene Hall (Peter Redder, 1:58.4, $4.80), Creighton Hanover (Virgil Morgan Jr., 1:55.2, $2.80), Intoview (Art Gregory Jr., 1:54.1, $2.40) and trotter Here's The Magic (Brandon Piquet, 1:58.2, $5.40).
For Miller, it was his second five win card in the last three contested at Hollywood Dayton, as the purple and white clad reinsman also scored five triumphs on the Friday program. "Super Brett," as he is called by regular announcer Barry Vicroy, has a comfortable lead in the local dash standings with 146 wins to runnerup Jeremy Smith's 130 and just three programs (Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 26-28) remaining in the season.
Rounding out the top five in total wins by drivers are Tyler Smith, Dan Noble and Josh Sutton.
Driver Jason Brewer also enjoyed a fruitful day on Monday, notching three scores with two from his own stable and one for trainer Art Gregory Jr. Brewer's winning mounts were Desire's Lady (1:57.1, $5.00), Entranced (1:55.4, $7.00) and Just Bettor (1:56.2, $4.00).
As Hollywood Dayton begins to wrap up its sixth consecutive year of growth this week, first year Director of Racing Jason Bluhm and his staff were delighted with the new daily handle record of $664,945.
