Call For Justice found room late to win his second straight in Wednesday’s $20,000 Preferred Handicap Trot.

Sent toward the front from post nine by Dave Palone, Call For Justice didn’t clear the leader, Barn Girl, until well past the half.

Though he appeared vulnerable in mid-stretch, the 5-year-old son of Justice Hall-Mika’s Mazurka dug in to hold off Valley Of Sin by three-quarters of a length in 1:56.2. Chef Lee rallied for show.

Ron Burke trains Call For Justice, who now boasts $298,797 in career earnings, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.
