Two dead-heats at Monticello Raceway

Something that you don't see very often is two dead-heats on the same day, this unique harness racing oddity occurred Tuesday afternoon at Monticello Raceway.

The first dead heat was in race 6, Blue Line (Bruce Aldrich Jr.) and Rockin In The Hills (Greg Merton) tripped the time in tandem in 1:58.3, Chip For Real (Bruce Aldrich Jr.) and See You Friday duplicated the feat five races later as they crossed the wire in unison in 1:58.4.

Also on the card James Taggart Jr. drove four winners, Greg Merton had three winners, James Devaux Michael Merton and Bruce Aldrich Jr each had two winners on the afternoon, both of Aldrich's win came in each dead heat race.

Trainer Dan Gill had two winners from his barn, Gill is currently in 4th place for leading trainers with 34 seasonal wins.
