WILKES-BARRE PA – 2015 Horse of the Year Wiggle It Jiggleit finished third in his second qualifier after almost three years away from the races Wednesday morning at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, timed in 1:54.2 after winning his first qualifier back in 1:53.4 at Philly eight days ago.
In the Philly race, Wiggle It Jiggleit rallied after sitting third-in for most of the mile. On Wednesday at Pocono, George Teague Jr., who handled “Wiggle” in a charted race for the first time since January of his three-year-old year as son/regular driver Montrell slated for action on the afternoon card at Philly, left with the seven-year-old, making the top after a :28.1 quarter, then going on to register splits of :57.3 and 1:25.2.

Wiggle It Jiggleit was still in command at headstretch, but through the lane he was passed by Geez Joe and Stormont Czar A in a 1:53.4 mile, winding up 2½ lengths back in third.

Before the qualifier, trainer Clyde Francis said he had been pleased by the horse’s performance at Philly, and that the goal was to qualify him a couple more times after today, “to see if and where we should race him this year, and also to gauge whether we should stake him for next year.”

George Teague: "I feel OK about him. We'll have to do some more work with him, get some more fitness in him. It'll be at least three or four weeks before he'll be ready to compete. We plan for a couple more qualifiers for him."
