Feel The Power an upset winner in Saratoga feature

Saratoga, NY — Feel The Power (Full Count) pulled off the upset in the evening’s $8,000 featured race at Saratoga Casino and Raceway. The John Mongeon-trained trotter had been on the board in six of his previous seven starts heading into Wednesday’s feature but was the race’s biggest longshot while dismissed at odds of 20-1.

Frank Coppola Jr. sat patiently in the first half but then swung Feel The Power three-wide heading to three-quarters and the 7-year-old trotter had enough to get by the favorite V I P (Austin Siegelman) in the stretch and record the victory in 1:57.4. V I P held second while Zorgwijk Nova (Chris Long) earned the show spot. For Feel The Power, it was win number four on the season.
