Breeder's Crown weekend has great elimination races!

[wizardofoz]

It will be interesting to see who wins the eliminations and it looks like they WILL be competitive and not just file out each race.  It looks like the BEST elimination cards for it in a long time! Betting should be swift but Friday's card starts at 12:30pm because the thoroughbreds finish their meet at night. An afternoon handle at the Meadowlands will be interesting to see and is rare.

Hobbles back on Kismet....TT drives....should be a win..

Should Is key factor

[JT]

Hobbles back on Kismet....TT drives....should be a win..

Should have booted Bob McClure many starts back.. That drive in Lexington was wretched

[Grandstand Handicapper]

I've been a fan of HK since before day one. Horse has tremendous potential. As much as I like the colt, driver aside, that horse is pretty volatile, inconsistent, etc., and it's not only the driver. I've seen him when he's right, gait-wise and head-wise. I would love to see him figure it out. Believe me, if he does, one day, he might put on a show that will stun people.

[Sweet Louis]

I'll take Karl for 50...anyone want HK for 50? Can cash app you if I lose...if not no biggie

[lost cause]

vic zelinsky takes this one.kis and karl wont be driven agressive.they will be looking to make the final.vic was sensational at lex.has dex,rail wins at a price

[seen2much]

I will tune in for most of it. Betting the elims is not for me.

Classic harness. Getting one of your biggest days bumped to afternoon by T-Breds.

Zelensky has Scottie Z. Dex took Tony Adams who went the fastest half of any 3 year old this season before tiring.  Good Price either way.

That may be a good thing.  Past the bedtime of any left over true harness fan with a night card.  .

It's a joke.. I'll be working so not able to watch.. If Meadowlands can't have the card in the evening than the breeders crown should not be there. What a fall from grace that place is.
