Avivas Winner on a roll at the moment

Avivas Winner (Credit Winner) lengthened his win streak in the Wednesday night feature at the harness racing meeting at Saratoga Casino and Raceway.

The John Podres-trained trotter didn't have a victory this season before a couple weeks ago but after scoring a front-running win in 1:57.4 two weeks back, the young trotter has gotten awfully sharp.

Jim Devaux pilots the four year old who held on to repeat as the public's odds-on favorite last week.

Avivas Winner was the second choice in the wagering as he looked to threepeat in Wednesday's $11,250 trotting feature.

After an early scramble for the lead, Avivas Winner overpowered the favored leader heading to the half and cruised away from his rivals to prevail by eight lengths in a career best 1:56.3.

Devaux and Podres also teamed up for a win with veteran pacer Predator DVM (Bettor's Delight) who scored in a seasonal best 1:53.3.

Devaux, who currently sits fourth in the local driver standings, piloted four winners on the Wednesday card.

Live racing continues at Saratoga on Thursday with a first post time of 4:00pm.
