Antognoni S was simply unstoppable

The Father Patrick gelding powered home to a dominant 10-length victory in Friday’s $250,000 MGM Grand Prix Trotting Series Final, covering the mile-and-a-quarter in 2:25.3 at MGM Yonkers Raceway.

Driven by co-owner Yannick Gingras and trained by Ron Burke, Antognoni S swept past rivals three-wide before drawing clear in emphatic fashion.

“He was so good tonight,” Burke said. “He will be in all the big races next year.”
