Twoaray Triumphs in GGF Stakes at Albany Racecourse
Twoaray, a three year old gelding trained and owned by Mrs. Lean Meyer, dominated the Albany stakes at Golden Gate Fields. Before 17,406 fans, the veteran horse carried 124 pounds to a three length victory over Meredrum, paying 5.40 to win as the favorite. Meyer handled training, grooming, and shoeing as Mel Lewis led the field in a mile race that ended in a sharp 1.3. The win marked Twoaray’s second stakes triumph and boosted earnings to 322,230 from the purse gross of 10,650.
