Done Well did well again, extending his career unbeaten streak to three with an impressive win in Saturday's $159,165 Pennsylvania Sires Stake at The Meadows. The event for freshman colt and gelding pacers, known as the Albatross, was contested over three divisions, with Closing Statement and Pedro Hanover taking the other splits. Tim Tetrick enjoyed a PASS double behind Done Well and Pedro Hanover.

Done Well had won two stakes with mid-pack moves, but Tetrick sent him to the front from post 8. It took the entire first quarter for him to pocket Karpathian Kid, but he easily kept him there to down him by 2 lengths in a stake-fastest 1:52 over... more...

WInd Of The North (Mike Simons) leaves the rest in the dust as they capture the Open Trot ($12,000) at Tioga Downs on Saturday (July 22).

Picture This (Charlie Norris) would charge to the front and take them to a first quarter in 28.4. Wind Of The North (Cantab Hall) would then move first over from fourth and blow right by to take over before the half. Owned by Darryl Bier and Joann Dombeck, while trained by Jeff Long, the 7 year old gelding would follow up with fractions of :57.2, 1:25.0, 1:53.1 and winning by three lengths in the end. Dragin The Wagin (Aaron Byron) would come late to finish second. Picture This would settle for... more...

Huntsville and Fear The Dragon had to work much harder in the slop than overwhelming favorites would like, yet each was game enough Saturday to capture an elimination of the 51sst edition of the Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids at The Meadows.

They’ll be joined in next Saturday’s $400,000 Adios final by Blood Line, Miso Fast, RJP,... more...

Breakfast With The Babies began at 9:30 a.m. on a perfect windless, morning with the temperature at 82 degrees. Gabe Prewitt called the action.

Owner Ken Jacobs has discovered the key to trotting success. He seeks out and buys a nice looking Chapter Seven yearling, turns it over to Linda Toscano to train then sits back and collects the proceeds. They've done it again with the filly Seven Karats, a Diamond Creek bred lass Kenny bought for $75,000 in Lexington last fall. Tim Tetrick put her right on the front and let the filly trot home in 28.3 on the end of the 1:58.1 mile in her very first start. Lima Charisma (Ake Svanstedt) followed along... more...

Her Own Land (Blissfull Hall) emerged from a scramble in the stretch to prevail in the Friday feature at Saratoga Casino Hotel. The Melissa Beckwith-trained six year old got the pocket ride in the $9,500 feature for fillies and mares.

Riding the coattails of the favored Sometimes Graceful (Dan Cappello Jr) throughout, Her Own Land cruised up the passing lane in a stretch drive that saw four horses finish within one length of each other at the wire.

An Open winner earlier this season, Her Own Land had finished second or third in four consecutive tries heading into Friday night when she got the job done in 1:54 with Mark Beckwith in the sulky.... more...

There's an old adage that states 'it's hard to keep a good man down'. And that's usually the case. But the same could be said about "Hurricane Hannah" Miller when she once again stuck it to the boys in a NAADA Trot at Yonkers Raceway on Friday, July 21. The talented miss survived a rough journey with Pine Tab to score a 1:59.4 victory.

It seems that Miss Miller is frequently starting from an outside post position and in her race tonight's race she had to navigate from post seven on the far outside. But feeling that her trotter was up to the task she sent him for the front but ran into a buzz-saw when Richard Gayton, driving Highest Hill, wouldn't relinquish command when she came calling. And because of that they... more...
