The breeders run the whole racing scene in every state. Just more obvious in some.

the big problem Maine has is that there are few breeders. When a division has only 3 entries ( with only 2 being competitive), that's a sign of the future failure of a program.

Except for those 2.

This is comparable to MD sires stakes all the way around.

Hey, you have a young and exciting trotting stallion who has sired the #1 trotting filly and the #1 trotting colt in Maine, this year. Oh, nevermind, he was exported to Brazil last year.

Not  many people bred harness horses when racing was shut down in Maine.

They got State Treasurer and Dude's the Man.  I wouldn't expect much from the latter but Stockade Seelster went one of the biggest trips I've ever seen in his loss to Confederate so maybe there is some hope for State Treasurer.

As with most struggling breeding operations, they have very few productive mares. You breed a common Maine SS mare to the average Main stallion, more than likely you will get a common foal at best.

Dudes The Man didn’t do much his first year but getting some decent horses since. Like a lot of sires, get them to a good mare and the get will be decent.
