  • Cotolo’s Harness Review

    POSTED Dec 26, 2011 By Frank Cotolo
    Our Watch List (WL) from Dec. 23 produced three winners. At Northfield, Big Bad TJ won, paying $7.20. At Maywood, KB’s Taylor won, paying $7.60 and KB’s Robby turned into the race favorite, won and paid $3.20 (apparently a lot of bettors were watching, so to speak).   

    The weekend was quiet; we hope you all had terrific holidays. 

    Then, as the shopping madness ensued through the world on Dec. 26, Woodbine’s Boxing Day program presented two stakes. 

    In the Valedictory Final we talked of two horses and they were the two that finished first and second. Our choice, Audreys Dream, was the place horse and the winner was Itrustyou, paying $5.90. If you took the boxing seriously, a hum, you got yourself a meager exacta return of $12.50 on $4. 

    We loved DG’s Tinkerbell in the Niagara Final but the 7-5 favorite took control in the deciding steps of the race and left our choice to finish second at 6-1. With the favorite and our choice second, the exacta came back $33.90. 

    The no-takeout Pick 4 at Cal-Expo returns next weekend as harness continues its programs on Dec.30. We will have our analysis of the New Year’s Eve Pick 4 in this Thursday’s blog.  

    Also on Thursday’s agenda will be some 2012 schedules as planned for some power-packed players’ programs at various tracks as the new season launches with familiar faces taking on new divisions and a look at some of the highly touted horses that will have to meet their expectations in the glamour divisions. 

    Harness News


    Christmas at France’s historic Vincennes offered the $155,000 Criterium Continental. The crowd, always loud and ready for action at the harness kingdom, was there to see if Timoko (photo right by Gerard Forni) could top his four-year-old trotting foes (there is no pacing in France) after a three-month layoff. With Rich Westerink in the bike, Timoko returned to beat the horse that got him last October in the 1 5/16ths-mile stakes. That nemesis is the Swedish-bred Kadett CD. With the win, Timoko aims at the classic Prix d’Amerique in January, 2012, attempting to be the first five-year-old to win since 2007, when Offshore Dream took the classic. 

    Our good friend, harness correspondent Ken Weingartner, talked to George Brennan, named Driver of the Year by the harness writers group. Brennan won 754 races and earned $14.5 million in purses from them. They included the Hambletonian—which we hit big with the TwinSpires Players Pool—with Broad Bahn.  

    “It’s really unbelievable,” he told Ken. “You always hope to win it one time and to get lucky enough to win it … in consecutive years is a really great achievement.”

    Horse racing is a fascinating kind of sport. It's exciting to see a such competitive game. While talking about the competition I have to say that there is a lot of competition in academics now and the best way to secure some good grades is to hire someone to do my online classthis way you can secure good grades.

    Three winners came from our Dec. 23 Watch List (WL). Big Bad TJ won at Northfield and received $7.20. At Maywood, KB's Robby became the race favorite, won, and paid $3.20. KB's Taylor also triumphed, paying $7.60. (apparently a lot of bettors were watching, so to speak).

    It was a peaceful weekend; we hope you all had wonderful holidays.

    Then, on December 26, as the worldwide shopping frenzy began, Woodbine's Boxing Day program offered two stakes.

    You can use our website, a Do my online class. You won't have to worry about your grade and may instead put your attention elsewhere.
