They will get the morning qualifiers in but forget about Saturday night as the PINEAPPLE EXPRESS from the Hawaiian tropics will bring snow changing to an icy mix changing to a heavy rain lasting 48 hours it looks like starting at 1:00pm Saturday afternoon!

Which one will Bartlett be qualifying? 

[Kole Hanover]

 Unless Dexter shows up, Jasin will be in the bike

[Locked in with pace]

not impressed with the Q.  crawled to the 3 quarters and still got picked up by 2 horses.

[Harness Stats]

I didn't think his qualiifier this morning was that special either.  Led through easy fractions and although did go 26.2 at the end he was easily passed by Hellabalou and a Bongiorno horse.  Others in earlier qualifiers went faster last quarters too.  He will need to do better.

$750,000 out the window for team POLLOCK!

[Kole Hanover]

 He's going to Qualify at least another time.

 I'd say they didn't want him going a huge mile, big fractions.

 Especially this time of year, coming off a long Detox yadayadayada

[Kole Hanover]

Unless Dexter shows up, Jasin will be in the bike

 

[Papillon]

I wouldn't read into the fractions that much--lets see another qualifier

maybe Sylvain will offer $100k to buy him back now

[Brown jug]

todays qualifier meant nothing given his past,
he is a 3 yr old who missed half of last year,
you can do more harm than good at this time of the year
FYI, they didn't pay $750k , got a large refund back to avoid the legal proceedings

any reports about how much the refund was?
