Sometimes the great ones do come home…at least for a few hours. Tim Tetrick is expected to arrive in Chicago shortly after the conclusion of Hambletonian Day at the Meadowlands to drive at Hawthorne Race Course Saturday Night, Aug. 4. On
“Anything I can do to help out this great game I’m all for.
Tetrick, 25, will drive the exciting filly Pampered Princess in the $1.5 million Hambletonian a few hours earlier, but the likeable Tetrick, who’s already won two million-dollar races this summer, will board a jet shortly following the Meadowlands’ final race and hope to make it to Hawthorne in time for most of the Chicago track's big evening.
“Just spending a few hours with my friends and family will make it worthwhile. Even if I win (the Hambletonian), I’ll be there," said Tetrick of the trek back home. "I love Ryan Anderson and I grew up with Dave Magee as my idol, so I’ll make it happen.”
Seeing the familiar green and yellow in the sulky may be a brief encounter, but also a special one. Tetrick is scheduled to drive in 7 of the 14 races. First post is 6:30 pm central time. (Hawthorne)
