Adios

Kind of expecting a pretty strong group to name in tomorrow.  Figure Burke might have 4-6, a few from the Meadowlands Pace, Twisted Destiny and probably forgetting a few others from the midwest

15 Horses Rick Wink vs Lite Up The World in 1st div the most intriguing. Only $25 k purse on elims.
Pitiful undercard. Open trot $18k but only 5 horses. Two Arden Downs 2cp $20k each but once again,
just  5 + 6 horses. Only one other race [$11k] over $10k. Beee Theerre if you're desperate. ;D

Years ago George Teague used to send some of his horses there for the Arden Downs stakes but stopped because he said it wasn't worth the trip for only a $20,000 purse.

This was once a top event now it is just a third class race.

Interested to see how  Rick Wink as a supplental does against grand circuit horses. He has been destroying ohio breds. All the best wink

Because they eliminated heat racing they had to change the date. Now it is right after the Meadowlands Pace. As soon as the hit the finish line, all the top drivers are off to the Meadowlands for the Hambo eliminations.

     Should be great races to bet with some longshots sneaking in!

I preferred to watch/bet on races where you HAD to win two heats on the same day

not just compete in two-win two

apparently the owners and breeders disagree-as over time-heat racing has disappeared

I bet if you had a horse in it you would not feel that way.
I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

Figured we would see him in the Jug but maybe this is a trial run.

Very excited to see Rick Wink go up against the big boys and I'm glad Chris Page keeps the drive. I've said since seeing his 150.2 in person at Delaware last year that he might be the best of all the Burke 3 year olds

I expect we will see him in Delaware. That time last year was close to the winning Jug time.
