Bridgmohan, who had blazed four wins on Saturday and picked up a double on Sunday, won yesterday’s US$11,000 second race over six furlongs with the 7-to-5 favourite MINE OR WHO’S.
His other winner was ALBELIA in the US$18,000 third race over six furlongs.
The Fair Grounds season, which started on November 6, ends on March 28.
