Yonkers, NY — Jake Stillwell swept both $10,000 North American Amateur Drivers Association trots on Thursday (July 7) at Yonkers Raceway; taking the first division with Cyclone Maximus in 2:01.1 and the second with Soul Train in 1:58.2.

In the first split, Stillwell got Cyclone Maximus away slowly and was fifth at the quarter in :28.3 while Tony Verruso showed the way with Call Me Thefireman. From there, Verruso rated Call Me Thefireman through the half in 1:00.1 and kept Con Air Hall (Joe Lee) on the limb. They were still one-two by three-quarters in 1:29.4 as Cyclone Maximus followed cover. When they headed for home, Cyclone Maximus fanned wide and rallied to a 1-1/2-length triumph. Con Air Hall was second, and Fun Time Charlie (Scott Keppler) rallied for third.

Stillwell used a different strategy in the second split, sending Soul Train to the lead from post two and controlling a :28.1 quarter. From there, Stillwell kept Fiji (David Offenberg) parked through a :57.4 half. As Soul Train faced a head-stretch challenge from pocket foe Finnick Odair (Nicole DiCostanzo), the 11-year-old gelding reached for more, repelling that foe and holding off a belated rally from Trump This (Verruso) by three-quarters of a length. Gemini Eddie (Joe Faraldo) was third.
