Whosethemaster wins

Whosethemaster slugged it out with Hillcrest Victory through the stretch and got up in the final strides for a neck victory in 1:56.4 in the $53,000 Charles Singer Memorial Final for 3-year-old trotters Saturday night at the Meadowlands.



Whosethemaster’s victory in the Singer pushed his career earnings to $126,184. Lifetime, he has 12 wins, 10 seconds and five thirds from 35 starts. The son of Master Lavec is owned by his breeders â€" Umholtz Racing Stable of Northfield, Ohio; Kennedy Sports Corp. of Phoenix, Arizona; Greg Martin of Columbus, Ohio and Michael Uhrin of Grove City, Ohio.



Whosethemaste's time was one-fifth of a second off the stakes record. The victory was his fifth of the year.



“I know he’s a very headstrong horse,� Miller said. “He’s very good-gaited but tough to steer sometimes. If he would behave himself, you can control him and rate him. He’s got good gate speed but I knew he could never go wire-to-wire. So I pulled him first up, and he just ground them down.�



"A friend of mine in Ohio, Clair Umholtz, has been training the horse out there all along,� said Ron Coyne Jr., who has conditioned the horse in New Jersey. “He thought he was a nice trotter and would fit well in this series. He’s a very aggressive horse. But once you put him in to the race, he’s actually quite nice to drive. It’s just getting him to that point which is difficult. I thought he had a chance to win. But I knew he would need a bit of luck."--Meadowlands release
