Fuel Cell was a recent purchase for trainer Cad Gregory back on October 12 at Pocono Downs for $23,000. The five-year old Mutineer gelding then made his next start at Harrah's Philadelphia a week later and paid immediate dividends for Gregory, wiring a pretty good field in a quick 1:54.4. The trainer has been a mid-season sensation winning right off the claim at a high percentage and tonight Fuel Cell returns back in for a tag. He made a rare miscue in his most recent start at Pocono, so we are going to dismiss that effort. If he races as well as he did in that mile at Harrah's I see no reason why driver Tyler Buter won't bring this Leo Controneo owned trotter back for his picture following yet another triumph in this evening's tenth race feature.
