Cotolo’s Harness Review, News And Notes
The Matchmaker and the George Morton Levy finals were the
focus of April’s end at Yonkers.
The “Levy” offered two events before the final but only the
favorites knew their ways to the winners’ circle. The best we did was have EZ
Noah for third in the Levy Consolation, won by the favorite Shoobees Place. The
big choice, Razzle Dazzle, won the final at even money; Eighteen was off the
board in the Levy-eligible as favorite Rockincam won.
We nabbed the Matchmaker Consolation with Handsoffmycookie
at a generous price of $8.20 but our choice in the final, Ramona Disomma, was
fourth at 9-1 (the second choice won).
The Ron Burke favorite, Charisma Hanover, won the Courageous
Lady at Northfield, taking full advantage of the rail and making the
chalk-players happy with a under-whelming $3.40 win mutuel. It figured, all
right, but as usual, we went against the grain, looking for value, and Cams
Macharena went off at 12-1 to satisfy our wager. She was locked on the outside to
three-quarters and tanked, as most do on the half-mile, especially against a
top choice with a popular driver (Dave Palone) making it more attractive. The
second choice finished second. The exacta paid a paltry $6. Keep an eye open
for Cams Macharena, she will show her stuff and perhaps pay a good price, soon.
Here are the results of all the wins this past week from the
extraordinary H2W list, exclusive to TwinSpires. It was a monster Friday at
Buffalo, which produced significant profits. Come back on Thursday for more
great contenders.

twice on the H2W, won and paid $61.80. Our Ella won with Tiger Would Too second

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Captaintreacherous, the most awaited sophomore pacer in years, qualified at the Meadowlands on April 27 in 1:52, going a final quarter of :26.2, breezing. The Somebeachsomewhere colt is the winter-book favorite for just about all of the major glamour-boy pacing stakes this year. The colt that defeated the “Captain” in the Breeders Crown, Rockin Amadeus, qualified that day in 1:51.3.
Last year’s great but disappointing equine pacing sophomore, Sweet Lou, returns at four this season. He qualified on April 27 in 1:51.3, pacing a final quarter of :25.4. Sweet Lou campaigns for Team Burke again this season.
Other stakes performers from last season qualified at Pocono last week. Bolt The Duer, Economy Terror, Waiting On A Woman are promising sophomore pacing colts among the winners.
Tioga Downs is set for opening day of its 2013 race season
