Chin Chin Hall and driver Peter Wrenn moved to the front down the backstretch and never looked back as a 10-1 offering in capturing one of two $20,000 Valley Victory eliminations for 2-year-old male trotters at the Meadowlands on Saturday night.

Jumping from a maiden race to a graded stakes is difficult enough, but Michael Lund Petersen's Mucho Gusto didn't get any breaks in the $100,000 Bob Hope Stakes (G3), either.

After tracking stablemate Big Changes through leisurely early fractions, Flurry Racing Stables' Mr. Misunderstood fought past his friendly rival and edged clear late to take the River City Handicap (G3T) by half a length.
