BRAVO, PLETCHER TEAM TO TAKE GRADE 1 U.N. WITH TURBO COMPRESSOR, GRADE 2 MONMOUTH CUP WITH RULE

Oceanport, N.J. – Jockey ‘Jersey Joe’ Bravo and trainer Todd Pletcher enjoyed a banner day at Monmouth Park on Saturday, capturing the Grade 1, $500,000 United Nations Stakes with Turbo Compressor less than a half-hour after winning the Grade 2, $200,000 Monmouth Cup with Rule.

“What a day,” said Bravo, after recording his first win in the United Nations. “I’m very fortunate to have ridden two great horses this afternoon. Todd is simply the best.”
