STRATTON ORCHESTRATES THE UNPREDICTABLE IN THIRD ROUND OF LEVY SERIES

Jordan Stratton's Saturday night (March 30th) began with a bummer, as former George Morton Levy Memorial Pacing Series winner Bit of a Legend N was scratched with what trainer Peter Tritton described as a serious quarter crack. It’s going to take some time.

Undaunted, Stratton won two of the evening's five, $50,000 third-round events, both with certified Free-For-All bombardiers.

Here's what happened in not quite real-time, with none of the names redacted...

First division-A second-over, 67-1 Pacing Major N (Stratton, $136.50)-from post position No. 3-held off a third over, 58-1 The Wall by a half-length in 1:52.3.

The race unfolded with The Downtown Bus, a winner from fourth-over a week ago, leaping over his six inside rivals to make the first lead. He looped 3-5 favorite Endeavor he latter eventually moving past right at the 27.1 opening quarter-mile.
