RICHARD WOJCIO WINS FOUR AND LIGHTS UP
ROCKINGHAM PARK TOTE BOARD
SALEM, NH-- Richard Wojcio had a banner day at
Rockingham Park on Sunday as he drove four winners, and everyone who backed him
at the windows celebrated along with him.
Wojcio partnered with Finally Finished in the
fourth of the 10 races on the card and when the Ralph Anderson-trainee crossed
under the wire first in 1:59 on a sloppy track, the tote board flashed $51.60
for a $2 wager. Wojcio came right back in the fifth race with Get Around Busch,
trained by Basil Sapienza, and lit up the board again with a $90.20 winner.
Wojcio also won the seventh race with Budlightning, who paid $11.20, and the
eighth race with Chianaglia ($7.20).
Longshots have ruled thus far in the meet, which
began on June 6th, but none has topped the modern day harness racing record
win price of $181.00 for a $2 bet that was set in 2006.
Live racing resumes on Wednesday with post time of
1:05 PM for the 10-race card.
