Periculum aims for International glory

The most recent horse to represent the U.S. and win the MGM Yonkers International Trot, Resolve in 2016, captured the million-dollar race in his first start after winning the Maple Leaf Trot. Periculum, one of two horses representing the U.S. in Saturday’s edition of the invitational event, will attempt to do the same.
Periculum rolled to a 1:50.4 victory in the Maple Leaf Trot this past weekend at Woodbine Mohawk Park and will look to add the International Trot to his résumé this weekend when he visits MGM Yonkers Raceway’s half-mile oval to meet nine rivals at the distance of 1-1/4 miles. The 5-year-old stallion will start from post 10, in the second tier, with Scott Zeron driving for trainer Marcus Melander. He is 5-1 on the morning line.
