East Rutherford, NJ – Risk (Muscle Hill) Celebrated his debut for core racing from 2025 on a win and caught on Saturday, 158,000 US dollars, Arthur J. Cutler Memorial for older Trotter with a neck over Lexus Kody in 1: 51.4 in the Meadowlands. Antognonis finished third.
Periculum and driver Scott Zeron became the first quarter as Sir Pinocchio: 28th Antognoni S, the 6-5 favorite, was already in motion from the fourth and took over the top position before reaching half in: 55.3.
At that time, Periculum made its change from the sixth and took the cover of Lexus Cody when Antognoni brought the group 1: 23.3 to three quarters. Periculum gathered in the route and covered the last quarter in one best racing: 27.4 to win.
The victory was the 12th in 51 career starts for Periculum, a 6-year-old stallion who deserves $ 1.35 million for the lifespan. Last season he won the Maple Leaf Trot and finished second in the MGM Yonkers International, Breeders Crown and Fanduel Open Trot Championship on the way to 821,084 US dollars.
Risk repetition
Periculum entered the cutler from a qualification game, a 1: 53.1 number of points on May 2 in the Meadowlands.
“I don't think he is obviously 100 percent in shape, but he has a nice trip and went great,” said coach Marcus Melander. “When he gets such a trip, he is very complex to beat. He likes to chase horses. This is his best ability to hunt her.
“I think he's even better this year,” added Melander. “He just feels much stronger. He has the feeling that he was always better every year. It will be very electrifying to run it for the rest of the season.”
The triumph was Melander's third in the Cutler Memorial and the first for Zeron.
“It was a great first start; obviously a good trip,” said Zeron. “I'm really content with everything.
“He is only relaxed; he has relaxed the whole breed. He protects his energy and when you call it, he is there for you.”
Periculum is a son of the Muscle Hill-Amour Erbine by Brixton Medical Inc. and Holly Lane Stud East. It was ordered from more stable.
Periculum sent as a 9-5 second election and paid $ 5.60 to win.
