East Rutherford, NJ — Like a pair of heavyweight boxers, Scott Zeron and David Miller battled back and forth all Saturday (July 23) night long over the course of the 13-race program at the Meadowlands, and when Miller delivered the final blow, emerging with Rebel Jet ($9.80 to win) from just off the pace to win the finale, the duo ended the night deadlocked with five winners each.
