EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – April 7, 2005 – Driver David Miller captured both $19,000 Fox Sports Net divisions among the four winners he recorded in the first five races of the night on Thursday at the Meadowlands.

In the opening round of the three-week Fox Sports Net, Miller won with Hop Sing in the third race and Su Hanover in the fifth race.

Hop Sing $4.20, $3.00, $2.20], making his first start since he was claimed for $100,000 on March 19 by Donna Wier of East Aurora, New York, battled a pylon skimming Armbro Barnes [$4.00, $2.80] for a head victory in 1:51.1. Silver Flash [$2.40] was third by a length and three-quarters.

Hop Sing, a four-year-old son of The Panderosa, now trained by Chris Oakes, picked up his first win in eight starts this year.
