COLT PACE (race 10): Of all the weekend’s Sire Stakes Championships, this race will generate the most interest from serious students of the sulky sport, as it matches up two colts who are undefeated in their first five races: Shalom Hanover (trainer Dr. Ian Moore, driver Louis Roy), who set a track record 1:49.2 in his previous appearance here, and Starstruck Dreamer (there’s trainer Noel Daley again, with Andrew McCarthy’s brother Todd driving), who won three PaSS prelims and paced the fastest mile ever by a 2-year-old on a five-eighth mile track, 1:48.4 at Philly.

Should be a blazer as I am sure AMac will fire and not yield in this one.

If they had wagering for who finishes 8th, AM is 1-9
The fact He believes he can compete against grand circuit drivers shows he is either dumb as a box of rocks, or a complete narcissist.

B. Complete narcissist ngc3

Pocono had good racing and prices...their last stakes day. I'm hoping for the same tomorrow.
I have not bet much of late. The little I bet at Pocono went into the trash.

Harrah's Philly has the 3 year PASS finals on Sunday.

Interesting that Pennsylvania split up its big finals to 2 different days and 2 different tracks even. Ohio has 1 big super night with all sire stakes finals and they alternate between Scioto and Northfield. This year its at Scioto on Saturday 9/12
Also huge grand circuit races as well. Carl Milstein Memorial Pace for older horses always draws a nice field.

But no one shows up to actually watch it!

They've always rotated the finals among the 3 tracks. The Meadows has the Stallion Series Finals today.

Gotcha.. the buckeye stallion series finals I think are at Northfield in October.
That's one level below sire stakes.. it just seems odd to me that all the PASS finals are split between 2 tracks 2 different days.

Shalom will jog

Interesting...thanks
-
Shalom won it in 1:49:2 by a head as the 2nd choice to boot! Now 6 for 6.

You cannot beat a Trainer like Ian Moore
He is light years ahead of all these schmos
had the rail. would have won from post 22
-
A solid drive by Roy. He stretched out his foe, had confidence to sit the pocket, and closed up the inside...for the win.

Think if the posts were reversed, the outcome would have been different.

Both great two year old. Great trainers. Great drivers. Fun to watch.

"He's a vet".

"He's a vet".
He is a vet, but also a great trainer. He's been training and driving horses for over 50 years. He's a great all round horseman.

Lock of the year

With "he's a vet" help.

Both talented colts.

Probably meet in the Metro Pace later this month.

I didn't think Starstruck was eligible. I thought Steve Wienick said they were pointing toward the Red Mile. I'll go check the list of eligibles.

I didn't realize, just assumed he was.

Starstruck doesn't have a vet?
-
Shalom is on the list and Starstruck is not. Too bad. I am sure if Shalom goes to the Metro, then heads to Lexington for Bluegrass and the International, and then on to the Breeders Crown, some people will criticize Moore for over-racing him, being greedy, and/or being inept, LOL. Let's not forget, he's a vet. He's bald too. Overweight too, right? LOL.

Also has a mustache. Starstruck is probably eligible for the Final 4 race for 2 year olds at Meadowlands after the Breeders Crown.

I have no direct knowledge of what each of the connections have planned between now and then, but I would suspect if nothing goes wrong, the BC is the target for both. Put and "X" on the date of the BC and work backward. I did hear that Shalom is targeting the Metro, which seems like the obvious next target. Given Starstruck is not eligible, something at home or Lexington seems like the next stop or two on the road to the BC. Both very nice colts.
-
I think what might have been overlooked here-----even though it wasn't a real betting race/opportunity-----is that even with the outside post, and Shalom having the rail, Starstruck still went off the favorite. Sure, it was 1-2 vs. even money, LOL, but still the favorite. Post position was definitely a factor.
Moore has said the Metro is next for Shalom, and Noel hasn't said where he's going with Starstruck, but if nothing goes wrong, these two will meet again in the BC.
