The total purse of the 52nd Messenger is a stakes-record $805,480, thanks in large part to a pair of $60,000 supplemental entrants--two-time New York Sire Stakes champion Kenneth J and Tivoli Hanover, who won a divison of Freehold's James Dancer Memorial last Saturday.
The number of entrants necessitated a pair of $40,000 elimination races--races seven and eight on the 10-race Saturday program. The top four finishers in each will return for the $725,480 final on Oct. 27.
The divinity of the divisions landed both buy-ins in the same (second) elim, with Tivoli Hanover (George Brennan) drawing the pylons and Kenneth J (Ron Pierce) landing post four.
