After going 0-for-9 in last year�s sophomore season, it is safe to say Lucky Jim has taken out a whole new lease on life for trainer Julie Miller.

Miller and her husband, driver Andy Miller, celebrated the seventh win of the season in as many tries with the four-year-old son of SJs Photo in Thursday evening�s second leg of the Father Foley Trotting Series.

The opening leg of the event was scrapped when only four horses were dropped in the entry box � and it is quite obvious why the box wasn�t flooded with entries.

Lucky Jim floated to the front shortly after Wind Surfer threw down a :28.1 opener. Miller and Lucky Jim cruised through middle splits of :57.3 and 1:26.4 before unleashing a :27.1 final frame en route to posting the 1:54 score. He was nearly three lengths better than runner-up Swan Image in the $20,000 tilt.. Wind Surfer rounded out the top three in the six-horse affair.

David & John Prushnok of Punxsutawney and William Gregg of Indiana, PA share ownership on the gelding, who potted $106,500 this season and more than $216,000 in his career.

The $45,000 (est.) final is scheduled for next Thursday at The Meadowlands
