Strong Yankee scores

 Return Home
June 16, 2006 Send To A Friend  | Print View

The renewed rivalry between last year’s Breeders Crown winner Strong Yankee and Hambletonian champ Vivid Photo didn’t exactly materialize Friday night at the Meadowlands as Strong Yankee won in 1:53, but Vivid Photo was fourth, a few lengths behind the winner.

Strong Yankee, making his first start of the season, was raced in mid-pack for most of the mile, but took the lead in the homestretch and won by a head over Elegant Man, the race pacesestter.

Vivid Photo was raced off the pace as well, but never got into the race. He had spotted Strong Yankee 3 ¾ lengths at the top of the homestretch, and his :27.2 closing kick only brought him a fourth-place finish.

Strong Yankee is owned by the Strong Yankee Stable and trained by Trond Smedshammer. Last year the son of Muscles Yankee won eight of 20 starts and earned $1.1 million.
