Cotolo’s Harness Review, News And Notes
The summer heat came rolling in early on this holiday
weekend. Our two blogs were not as hot but not without their set of thrills.
Our Hambletonian Trail
blog delivered two of four winners. For reviews of all Trail races, check the the Hambletonian Society site.
Canada’s two stakes for older pacers were won by their
respective favorites. Foiled Again won the Molson Pace for the third time in
his career at Western Fair. Michael’s Power turned out to be the public choice
in Georgia Down’s Upper Canada Cup, winning at 3-5. Our choice, Huxley, was
second at 17-1.
In the New Jersey Sires Stakes soph pacing quartet at the
Meadowlands on May 26 we split the difference with two wins, one in each
division. The best hit was with the fillies, when Ideal In Vegas avenged a loss
last week with a victory worth $11.80. In the colt splits the crowd ate our
winner alive. I Fought Dalaw went off the big choice, paying $3.60. If you
estimate that a worthy price, we applaud your win; we passed.
At Cal Expo, the
no-takeout Pick 4 on May 25 included one winner for us. Our second-leg single,
Dancing Barry, won and paid $9.60. Even with a number of favorites missing from
the winning ticket, its price was still only $1,509.30. People must be
purchasing some very large tickets.
From tweets this past week, winners included All Over The
World ($17.50) and Kennairn Crystal ($13.40) at Flamboro; Frenchfrysnvinegar
($14.20) at Mohawk. Also, Special T Rocks ($15.60) won at the Meadowlands.

News And Notes
Muscle Hill, the dominating Hambletonian champ in 2009, has been in the stud business since he retired from racing. Speculation on his progeny has been high all over the world (remember that trotting in Europe is far more popular than on these shores). At a yearling sale in Stockholm on May 25, Victory Rain, from the first crop of Muscle Hill, topped the prices at $115,000. Trainer Stefan Hultman bought the colt.
The issue of speed continues to impress many people in the sport. Granted, the fact that fast horses will always beat slow horses is, in harness racing, debatable. But this season has begun with fiery miles and you can get a good rundown of the atmosphere by reading Tim Bojarski’s blog; click here to read.
With the Belmont Stakes nearing and a Triple Crown possible from a horse in the hands of a controversial trainer, harness racing took the forefront with a major suspension from a trainer once on top of the heap, Lou Pena.
New York racing officials joined with New Jersey authorities to come to the conclusion that Mr. Pena be suspended immediately and indefinitely. Pena has amassed more than 1,700 equine drug violations, facing possible revocation of his license to race horses in the Empire State and fines of up to $25,000 per violation (do the math, this is an outrageously high ticket). As well, New York is looking to recover more than $2.5 million in purse monies won by the horses in violation at the time.
We recall some years back in California when a few trainers were making their bones, so to speak, and one on the list was Lou Pena. Standardbred trainers that have brought their stock east after campaigning successfully on the Pacific coast produced peculiar success stories that have made California harness known as the Wild, Wild West of the sport. This is not to insinuate that harness racing in the west has been a freak factory of players; it is to bring to the attention of all involved that the way the sport is handled on either coast is as different as east and west.
We think all of these horsemen were and are proficient and knowledgeable, two qualities that must include some cunning. Thus, the California connection, so to speak, cannot be verified as any kind of cartel. There is no evidence of anything conspiratory. You might just say there is something in the air.
We stood up in the press and at state hearings for Brett Pelling when Pennsylvania racing officials accused him of actions we felt were inaccurate, at best. Trainers with unpopular but legal means of conditioning horses should not be indicted for bad behavior in other areas just because no one approved of their methods.
This is a slippery slope, indeed, and bettors should be aware of the hyperbole related to just who is a cheater and who is an innovator. We’ll have more on this issue to come. If you have any comments as a player, please write to us care of TwinSpires.
There is good news in trotting. Chapter Seven, last year’s Breeders Crown soph-colt champion caught everyone’s eye in his 2012 debut at the Meadowlands with a 1:51.4 qualifer. Chapter Seven was in front through panels of :29, :57.3, and 1:25 before he scorched home in :26.4 to win by almost 15 lengths. The qualifying mile stands as Chapter Seven’s lifetime mark and opens up another portal of competition for the older trotting set. Kudos to the horse’s connections for not retiring the trotter.
Neither of the glamour-boy pacers now being closely hailed as this year’s dynamic duo will be racing in the Somebeachsomewhere Stake in Canada. Sweet Lou and A Rocknroll Dance are aiming at bigger things.
“Lou” trainer Ron Burke said Lou said, “We’ll be at the [million-dollar] North America Cup for sure.”
Jim Mulinix, trainer of A Rocknroll Dance, said his steed will be racing in the $150,000 New Jersey Sires Stake final on June 2 instead of shipping to Mohawk.

Studying all the time might make the child feel pressurized and tensed. Online Games are a great way to de-stress and enjoy life. Not playing games makes a child very dull and introvert. He/she tries to hide behind books at all times and not interact with people. Books do make a person knowledgeable but sports and games teach life lessons which come into use at a later stage in life. One should encourage the children to play and do what they enjoy. This is the stage when a child grows and learns about various things. Poki Games help them to learn and enjoy life.
