Monticello, NY — Zeke Parker has found his groove again. After reining five winners on Wednesday, July 25 the 17-time Mighty M driving champ came right back Thursday and drove six winners on the 12- race card at Monticello Raceway.

I’m having a good week, ”Parker said when contacted by phone in the paddock after his six-win day. “I don’t think I’m doing anything different but I am getting some live mounts.”

With two wins on the Monday program, one on Tuesday, and 11 over the past two days Zeke has 13 driving victories on the past four-day Mighty M week.

Parker scored his first victory right off the reel when he won the first race with Triple T Racing Stables’ Vinnie’s Valentine($6.20) in 1:59.4 and it wasn’t until the sixth race that Zeke scored again, and when he did he reeled off three consecutive winners.

He won the sixth with Robert Bourgon’s trotter Gate Keeper ($25.60) in 2:03.1 and copped the seventh behind Richard Stiles Wink And Nod ($8.00) in 1:57.4. He then drove Diana Bartells trotter Batu Khan($48.00) to a 2:03 victory.

And Parker wasn’t done.

He made a laugher out of race 10 when he guided Bill Demberg’s See You Smile ($5.20) to an eight-length triumph in a 1:56 clocking. He then capped another outstanding day winning the final race with his and Evan Katz’s Truponder ($4.70) in 2:00.
