SALEM, NH — Driver Jonathan Roberts continued his hot streak at Rockingham Park on Saturday by winning five of the eight races in which he competed on the 10-race card.

In recent weeks, Roberts has solidified his position to stand in second place with 69 wins behind leading driver and defending Coors Light Driver of the Year David Ingraham and his 120 victories.

Also on Saturday, Our First Falcon N kept his winning streak alive with his fourth straight trip to the winner’s circle while partnered with Ron Cushing.

The six-year-old gelded son of Falcon Seelster, trained by John Gerow and owned by John Brophy, paced the mile on a fast track in 1:50.1 to tie his personal best in the featured $12,000 Invitational pace. Sent off as the even-money favorite in the field of five, Our First Falcon N came from last to first to win handily.

In his last eight races at Rockingham, Our First Falcon N has now won six times and finished second against the top pacers on the grounds.

Live racing resumes on Sunday at 1:05 p.m. with a 10-race card.
