2 more years for P Glide?

It is expected 3-year-old filly trotter Passionate Glide, one of the front-runners for 2006 Horse of the Year honors, will return to the races in 2007, but trainer Jimmy Takter is now saying we could also see the Yankee Glide mare in 2008 as well.

"I think she's Horse of the Year,” Takter told the publicity office at the Meadowlands. “As far as next year, I told (owner) George Segal that he has to make at least a two-year commitment to her to bring her back. I'd like to try and do what we did with Moni Maker with her. She's a big powerful mare, and in order to bring her back, you have to for at least the next two years. The 4-year-old season is uncertain for a trotter, but I think she can be a dominant mare when she returns. I'm planning on bringing her back."

Passionate Glide won 13 of 15 starts this year and banked $1,087,900 toward a career total of $1.7 million.
