Aquarius Series Divisions Contested Saturday

February 11, 2006


On a snowy Saturday eve, All Over The Place and Jenna’s Choice captured their respective $35,000 Aquarius Series divisions at the Meadowlands. All Over The Place with Ron Pierce in the sulky, zoomed to the lead past the half in 57.3 seconds and held off the late rally of I Zee to win the first division in 1:53.1. It was nearly five lengths back to Zooka in third.

It was the first win in four starts this season for All Over The Place, a four-year-old Artsplace gelding trained by Mark Ford and owned by Martin Scharf of Lawrence, New York. As a sophomore, All Over The Place hit the board in 12 of 18 starts for earnings of just under $300,000.

In the second division Jenna’s Choice caught the pacesetter Isle Of Patmos at the wire for a neck victory. Roddy’s Bags Again was third. Driven by Brian Sears and trained by Mark Silva, Jenna’s Choice paced the mile in 1:52.1 over a track rated good. Silva, who resides in Little Ferry, New Jersey, shares ownership of the gelding with Cliff Pattick of Montvale, New Jersey, and Daniel Borgo of Randolph, New Jersey. The Aquarius continues with a second leg on February 18 and concludes with a $79,700 final on February 25.
