Monticello, NY — The month of December seems to be to Jim Devaux’s liking. It was only 10 days ago that he won five races on the afternoon. On Thursday afternoon (Dec. 27), Devaux did it again.

The wins started in race two where he scored with RCS Ready (2:04.1-$9.70) for trainer Wesley Miller. It is rare to see Devaux go off at odds of 30-1, as he pulled off a shocker with NY Whitesox in 1:58 and paid $63.50. Jim came right back in the next race and visited the winner’s circle with Quality Closer in the Winners Over event, scoring an easy six length win in 1:54.4 for Monica Banca. Zack Lee won the 10th race for owner Gary Haas in 1:57 ($5.50). Drive Em Cowboy capped off the five bagger in race 11 to win in 1:57.2 and paid $13.20 for win.

Devaux just missed his sixth winner of the day but fell short, finishing second in the last race.

The five wins added to DeVaux’s yearly tally, giving him 211 wins at Monticello Raceway, placing him fourth for leading dash winners, and $796,076 in earnings.

More than $776,000 was wagered on the 12-race card.
