| Cruzado Dela Noche and driver Brian Sears take the Arthur J. Cutler Memorial at the Meadowlands Saturday night. |
Pulling off upsets are Cruzado Dela Noche's specialty, so when he won Saturday night's $175,200 Arthur J. Cutler Memorial for harness racing free for all trotters at the Meadowlands at odds of 8-1, it didn't come as a shock to his driver Brian Sears.
"I was pretty confident," said Sears. "I wasn't concerned that it was his first start since November since he hadn't raced in three or four months before the International Trot."
In Yonkers Raceway's International last October, Cruzado Dela Noche and Sears pulled off a 30-1 shocker, and like in the Cutler, never spent a moment at the rail.
Half of the bulky 12-horse field was away from the gate quickly in the mile and an eighth Cutler, and after they settled in after the quarter, Trolley was on the point, I Know My Chip was in the pocket, Yes Mickey was first over, providing perfect cover for Cruzado Dela Noche.
As Yes Mickey continued to inch closer to the leader at three-quarters, Cruzado Dela Noche got himself into position to pounce three-wide as they straightened away at the head of the stretch. With confident handling from Sears, Cruzado Dela Noche made his way past Trolley nearing the wire to record a half-length score. Will Take Charge rallied for third. Pinkman, the 8-5 favorite, raced along the rail and never had a chance, finishing seventh (placed sixth).
The time for the added distance of a mile and an eighth was 2:07.3.
"This horse has raced in Europe all his life," said Sears. "So he's good with the distance. He's got enough stamina to put himself in play and we were never really used that hard. He's easy on himself."
As the fifth choice in the wagering, Cruzado Dela Noche, who is trained by Marcus Melander, returned $19.00 to his backers. He's now won 16 of 60 career outings, good for earnings of $1,295,739 for owners Courant A B of Stockholm, Sweden.
