Cotolo’s Harness Review, News And Notes
The Adios elims got us one winner but he turned out to be a
loser with a winning entrymate. Allstar Legend was our choice but he lost to
his stable partner Bettor’s Edge, who we liked a few weeks ago in a Meadowlands
Pace elim. To make the win bitter, the entry paid a paltry $4.40. “Allstar”
finished fourth to make the final.
The first Adios elim was a favorite’s delight with hometown
colt Sweet Lou (photo below by Chris Gooden), winning over A Rocknroll Dance. Our choice, Hurrikane Kingcole,
went off much lower than we thought and finished fourth.
Sweet Lou and Bettor’s Edge join A Rocknroll Dance, Thinking
Out Loud, Hurrikane Kingcole, Bolt The Duer, Breakin The Law and Allstar Legend
in the final next week.
Lack of luck followed us to Canada. In the Maple Leaf Trot
at Mohawk our choice Winning Mister broke early and was eliminated. Mister
Herbie beat the big favorite Chapter Seven at 8-1.
Our Roses Are Red choice, Cee Cee N, was not up to beating
Anndrovette, who beat the favorite Put On A Show at 13-1.
A 29-1 shot won the Lawrence Sheppard, beating the favorite
Doctor Butch. Hail The Taxi paid $72 while our choice, Scalped, had a tough
time of the mile and watched all of his foes cross the finish line before him.
On Friday at Yonkers a mishap turned the tables on a huge
favorite and handed us a fine win. In the New York Sires Stakes (NYSS) for
frosh-colt trotters, the huge favorite, Tirade Hanover, won with our choice,
Explosive Action, coming in second. However, “Tirade” was placed from first to
second after judges penalized his stretch ride due to stepping into the pylons.
Our choice became a winner worth $12.40 and ignited a “hard-way” exacta with
the favorite, paying $55. Luck matters and sometimes it pays off.
Our other NYSS choices were Brookroaddonnie (scratched),
Sant Time (fourth at 20-1), Order By Keeper (third at 5-2), Wannacmyguns
(second at 6-1).
In the frosh Tompkins-Geers that same evening, at Tioga, we
scored with the colt Don’t Ya Know, who paid $7.70.
Our other Tioga pics were Simpletwistoffate (seventh at
39-1) and Cool Their Jets (fifth at 9-1).
Soph-colt-and-filly trotting stakes from July 21 are
available at our exclusive Hambletonian
Trail blog. The reviews of those events and archives of all that has
happened since May are at the
Hambletonian Society site.
It became official the other
day that Check Me Out, the dynamic soph-filly trotter that has been devastating
every member of her division, will not race with the boys in the Hambletonian.
Ray Schnittker, trainer, driver
and co-owner of Check Me Out, took the path of least resistance, to say the
least, announcing his filly will race in the Hambletonian Oaks, not the main
event with the colts and geldings.
He told reporters he thinks it
is the best thing for the horse. “I’d hate for her to get over her head or have
to really kill herself to win.”
Schnittker said he was worried
she might be “barbecued somewhere along the line [against the boys]” but still
thought that “nine out of ten times” she could beat most of the glamour-boy
colts.
All of the elim actions for the
main event and the fillies will be covered live on our Twitter accounts, with
an analysis of each at our Hambletonian Trail blog. As well, we will be live at
the Meadowlands for both finals and the rest of the stakes-full card.
On Monday, July 23, Batavia Downs opens its 66th
season of harness racing. A bigger
signature race, a new first race post time and Sunday afternoon racing in
August are some of the changes at America’s oldest lighted harness track.
The Robert J. Kane Memorial Invitational Pace offers a $50,000 purse
this season on Oct. 6. A total of six matinees will be offered, including all
four Sundays in August. The other two afternoon race cards are Labor Day and
Columbus Day. Post time for all matinees remains at 1:15 p.m. with racing gates
opening at 12 p.m.
Racing will be Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays amd Saturdays at night for
the first two weeks with Sundays replacing Mondays in August. Twelve races will
be carded nightly except for Saturdays’ 13-race programs.
Changes were made to the wagering menu; the minimum on trifectas has
been lowered to 50 cents. However a $1 wager is required. One dollar daily
double wagers are also offered.
Superfecta wagering is on races with the exception of one and seven.
The Pick 4 has been moved to the third race and the late-late double moves to
the last two races nightly. The popular Pick 6 begins on race seven.
North America’s leading dash winning harness racing driver in 2011, Dan
Noble, will make his Batavia debut on opening night. Noble led all drivers last
year with 773 wins. He currently sits fourth this year with 320 wins. Shawn Gray, currently the leading driver at
Buffalo Raceway, will be racing stock at Batavia for the first time.

A letter of credit is a safe document and is enforceable in the court of law wherein the bank guarantees to make payment on behalf of the importer or the buyer in case the buyer fails to make payment to the seller in the given time duration. This, thus, helps to remove the risk ofnon-payment faced by the exporter of goods. Today, the letter of credit is used on a day to day basis in the international trade markets.

It's my first time seeing this type of horse race and it looks interesting. I have always only been into flat track racing, stadium jumping, vaulting and barrel racing. Before working full time at web designing services in Pakistan, I indulged in flat track racing and stadium jumping, but now as a busy web designer this passion is only limited to watching races on TV and reading blogs like this one. Thanks for sharing this post.
