SBSW, Art Official draw into separate Bluegrass divisions

Those waiting to see a rematch between North America Cup winner Somebeachsomewhere, and his conqueror, Meadowlands Pace winner Art Official, will have to wait as the two sophomore pacing heavyweights drew into separate $134,000 Bluegrass divisions Saturday afternoon at The Red Mile.
 
Somebeachsomewhere, who trained a mile at The Red Mile Wednesday morning in the range of 1:51-1:52, drew post three with driver Paul MacDonell in the second Bluegrass division, slated as the 14th and last race on the card. Trainer Brent MacGrath admitted to harnessracing.com after the training mile that the colt--who has not raced since coming up sick following his win in the Simcoe at Mohawk Sept. 6--is still not 100 percent, but he is hopeful for Saturday as he and the rest of the connections are shooting for a new world record.
 
As for Art Official, who finished third in the decisive second heat of the Little Brown Jug last Thursday, he drew post eight in the first Bluegrass division, slated as the 12th race. The Joe Seekman trainee delivered Somebeachsomewhere his first-ever defeat in the $1.1 million Meadowlands Pace in July, needed every bit of his world-record 1:47 effort to do so. Ron Pierce will once again get the call behind Art Official in the Bluegrass.
 
Here are the two Bluegrass divisions, in post position order:
 
1st division (12th race)

1. Atochia (Yannick Gingras)
2. Share The Delight (John Campbell)

6. Hey Mister Dj (Andy Miller)

10. Southwestern Dream (Dan Shetler)
