Eurobond ends Jeffery P’s winning streak

WASHINGTON, PA, Aug. 5, 2021 — Eurobond seated Jeffery P in a hotly contested 26.4 opening panel and kept him in that seat throughout the mile, capturing Thursday’s $16,000 Open Handicap Trot at The Meadows and snapping Jeffery P’s five-race harness racing winning streak.

Owner Matthew Morrison gave $205,000 for Eurobond, making the 6-year-old son of Love You-True Diva the sale-topper at last month’s Tattersalls Summer Mixed Sale at the Meadowlands.

In his second start since the sale, Eurobond began to pay dividends for Morrison, trainer Christen Pantaleano and driver Jim Pantaleano.

Jeffery P came off the rail to challenge in the lane, but Eurobond remained strong, prevailing by a length in a swift 1:52.3. Rising MVP completed the ticket. Eurobond extended his career bankroll to $369,650.
