Michigan native Billy Dobson put on a great display of driving ability when he scored five victories on this afternoon’s program at Monticello Raceway.

Now relocated in New York State and among the most sought after catch-drivers at Monticello Raceway, Dobson began the afternoon by winning both ends of the Daily Double.

He reined Holmes Stock Farm’s trotter, Spurlin, to a 2:03:2 victory in the first race and followed with a 2:00 triumph behind Ryan Merton’s Oakbrook Raider in the second.

Dobson’s next visit to the winners circle came in the seventh race when he guided Ed Mihalek’s Classic Patrol to a 1:58:2 victory. He took Race 10 with William Emmons’ Alba Gold in 1:57:2, and he came right back to score victory number five in Race 11 with Rebecca Williams’ Delco Tross in a 1:58:2 clocking.

With his five victories on Thursday Dobson now has 44 for the meeting which ranks him second on the local leaderboard behind Bruce Aldrich’s 52.
