Nuclear Breeze Wins Fifth Straight
December 16, 2006
Nuclear Breeze scored his fifth straight win, ninth in 14 starts this year, in a lifetime best of 1:49 flat in a $35,000 winners-over $25,000 condition pace Saturday night at the Meadowlands. Sent off as the even-money favorite, Nuclear Breeze took the lead on the turn for home, rebuffed PH Top Dog, who finished second by three-quarters of a length. It was another two and three-quarters back to Hop Sing in third.
It was driver Brian Sears' third winner of the night and also Sears' third win sitting behind the four-year-old son of Nuclear High - Radiant Breeze who is owned and bred by Thomas Cooke of Rockville, Maryland. Roger Hans trains Nuclear Breeze, who has compiled a career record of 21 wins, four seconds and five thirds from 38 starts for earnings of $189,632.
Nuclear Breeze is eligible to the three-week Presidential Series at the Meadowlands which gets underway on January 13 and features a $100,000 estimated final on January 27.
