Davis Jr. In Seventh Heaven Tuesday At Northfield

Billy Davis Jr.

Billy Davis Jr. had an electric night on Tuesday, Jan. 16 at Northfield Park as the Canadian reinsman swept both mini-series finals en route to an astonishing seven-win performance. 

Trainer Cory Kreiser grabbed five victories on the 15-race program himself, including a series final win with Up Helly AA in front-stepping fashion. Davis piloted all five of Kreiser’s winners and teamed up with Scott Linville for his other two victories.

Davis got off to a hot start by taking down the early double with Quik And Shady ($5) for Linville and Kandy Sweet ($3.60) for Kreiser.

Davis and Kreiser went on to earn three straight mid-card victories. Mcthirsty ($3.80) rallied from last at the top of the stretch, Parole Violation ($2.60) led most of the way in his barn debut, and the win machine, Winner Is Coming ($3), went first-up to score by more than four.

Davis capped off his night by sweeping the $30,000 mini-series finals with the aforementioned Up Helly AA ($9.40) for Kreiser and a hard-fought victory with Linville trainee Pocket Of Terror A ($13).

Live harness racing resumes on Wednesday evening with another pair of mini-series finals. The featured events of the evening carry a purse of $23,333 and go as races 12 and 13.
