Andy Miller takes the first of his four victories on the evening with Opulent Yankee in the featured trotting contest at The Meadowlands.

Miller began the evening by capitalizing on a perfect pocket trip with Opulent Yankee to upset 4-5 favorite Lady’s Dude in the $17,000 conditioned trot.

He finished off the sweep of the early double with a perfect front-running drive on favored Keystone Blade, then won races seven and eight by a nose and a neck, respectively, with Truth And Liberty and Nowucit Nowudont.

Corey Callahan won three races and Jim Marohn Jr. celebrated his 35th birthday by winning two races.

Vinny Ginsburg steered The Pokester, a 42-1 longshot to victory in the last race, leading a parade of outsiders past the wire.

With 7-5 favorite Sailin Metro and 8-5 second choice Cherokee Ranger off the board, the $2 trifecta returned $10,131.80 and the 10-cent superfecta was good for $6,335.

There were no winning tickets in the last race Super High-Five as the jackpot now stands at $32,071 heading into Saturday (Feb. 25).

Total handle was $2,486,926 on the 11-race card.

Live racing continues Saturday with a 12-race card. Post time is 7:15 p.m. For more information, visit www.playmeadowlands.com.
