Columbus, OH — A field of six went behind the gate in Tuesday’s (June 28) $30,000 final of the Dr. Al Gabel Trotting Series at Eldorado Scioto Downs.

Bridge To Victory (Tyler Smith) crossed the wire first in 1:56. The gelded son of What The Hill went off as the betting favorite after taking the first two legs of the conditioned mini-series.

Despite drawing the rail, Bridge To Victory stuck to his usual tactics and raced from the middle of the pack. The 3-year-old gelding pulled just past the half and marched directly to the front. Creatine Star finished second while AB Brightlight completed the trifecta.

Bridge To Victory has now won half of his six seasonal starts and has finished second two times, bankrolling $37,925 so far as a sophomore. He is conditioned by Jeff Smith for the Ervin Miller Stable, Louis Willinger, and Randy Wilt.

Three divisions of $15,000 Jay Kaltenbach Trotting Series also went to post. Purple Aura and Sweet On Pete opened the first leg by equaling the fastest divisions in 1:55.4. The second leg of the mini-series for 3-year-old fillies will take place next week.
