Jordan Stratton won six races in six starts as Goshen Historic Track kicked-off its 177th season of harness racing on Thursday, July 2 at the Cradle of the Trotter. Featured on the afternoon card were the NYS Fair Stakes for 2 and 3 year-old trotters and pacers
Stratton won with sophomores; Saint Misbehavin (2:04:4), For Kevin’s Sake (2:03:3) and Everywhere Fast (2:06.1); and he won 2 year old races with; Second Turn (2:05); Bullvillebingo (2:09) and Cash Not Credit (2:09).
Asked if this was his best day in the sulky he replied; “I won six races twice at Monticello (Raceway) but not consecutively. I guess six wins in six drives has to be my best day.”
Stratton,a Middletown NY resident currently with 2569 career winners, honed his craft at Monticello Raceway where he was the youngest driver, at age 21, to win the track’s driving title in 2009. For the past five seasons he’s been among the driving leaders at Yonkers Raceway.
Stratton is slated to drive in six of the seven races on which will comprise Historic Track’s Friday, July 3rd program.
