Cotolo’s Harness Review, News And Notes
The buzz about Sweet Lou’s loss in the North America Cup
began even before a row of colts began to eat up the late stretch after a
sizzling three panels. As it turned out, the three sweeping closers taking
advantage of the fiery fractions were none of the outsiders we suggested could
beat Sweet Lou.
Thinking Out Loud won at 8-1 with Time To Roll second at 9-1
and Dapper Dude completing the trifecta at 15-1. Sweet Lou dragged home fourth.
One horseman source we talked to shortly after the race said
that Sweet Lou “looked sluggish in the stretch. Sluggish in one-forty-seven and
four? The way he has dominated [so far] he should have drawn off and not been
in a five-horse photo.”
In our preview blog we mentioned that trainer Ron Burke had
said Sweet Lou had gotten over a virus and we made note that there could be
remnants of the bug to the colt. Burke had also shown concern in the elim
victory, as we quoted him, because Sweet Lou did not draw off to win the race.
Our source said, “Time to run blood counts, etcetera.”
At press time Ron Burke made no comments about how Sweet Lou
raced or came out of the race. We will follow up on the condition of the pacer
in our blogs and tweets this following week.
The Mohawk undercard didn’t result in any pacing winners
based on our suggestions but we scored well with the sophomore trotters,
scoring a big win in the Goodtimes with the colt Beer Summit. The trotter paid
$19.20.
The night before, at Pocono, we also scored with a Hambletonian
hopeful when Stormin Normand won a Earl Beal, Jr. elim and paid $16.40. He
defeated last year’s Breeders Crown winner Uncle Peter and our other choice, My
Mvp, came in third. Our choices along with the big favorite Uncle Peter,
resulted in a $121 triple.
At Cal Expo we
scored with two of the four winners that helped result in a $221.10 no-takeout
Pick 4. Total Up won the first leg but only at $7. We were two for two when a
better contribution to the so-far-a-winning combo, Cherry Tree Nicole, won and
paid $15.40. We were second and fifth in leg three and third and seventh in the
last leg, beaten by lesser odds. Our projected ticket was at least four times
the price of the wining combo.
