Road to the Hambletonian...
« on: July 16, 2025, 08:37:31 PM »
Who do you like? A frontrunner or three, and a few of the expected frontrunners are here but not quite there, behind schedule, a step or two behind, and so on.

Melander looks like he has Super Chapter right where he wants him and August 2 might not come soon enough, and Maryland is making up for lost time, lost ground, etc. Lucas Wallin's colt was the wise guy colt over the winter, and he still might be. Still has a ways to go, but has the talent. Pinske's colt was dominant and just seems to be getting better with each start. I am not completely sold yet, but Saturday night he showed a lot. Big mile. It's the next few weeks that separates the pretenders from the contenders.

So who you do like?

Super Chapter is the obvious favorite

but Ake has been known to play rope-a-dope and one of his pieces might have a lot more than we have seen

I both like and am rooting for Super Chapter. I'm a Jeffrey Snyder fan. Nice man and family. Saw him
 in the winner's circle last week and he certainly hasn't gotten any better looking though. ;D

  • Kirby's Ace: He wins because of numbers and deep pocket investors.

  • Kirby's Ace: Do you honestly think Burke has some undetectable  pre-race that all his trainers use and no one spills the beans? Willing to risk a muti million dollar career?

  • Trigger: Not as Big as Ron Burke...showing us, he's the Don of the Sulky, and better racing through chemistry is the ONLY way to go.  Records yr. $28.52mil, Career $374mil, 16,343 wins!  tmbz1
