Cotolo’s Harness Review, News And Notes
Captaintreacherous did it again this weekend, winning on
Pocono’s five-eighths track in one of three elims for next week’s Max Hempt
stakes. The champion glamour boy pacer paid $2.40 but our best pick was in the
first “Hempt” elim, where we nailed Emeritus Maximus, which paid $19.20.
Our only other winner of the big Pocono program was the
obvious I Luv The Nightlife, paying $2.20. We were nowhere near the board in
the Ben Franklin elims.
Listeners of North
American Harness Update were handed a Pick-4 on June 21 as Ray Cotolo
handed them the winning combo at the Meadowlands. The $36 ticket for the Pick 4
in races seven through 10 featured Raring To Go S ($24.20) and Crown Lady ($15)
on the high prices. The ticket paid $777.10.

News And Notes
The babies were at it again at the
Meadowlands. Two-year-olds were readying for the big frosh season and two
trotting colts were reportedly quite impressive, each winning in 1:57.1,
according to Meadowlands reporter Nick Salvi. Nuncio, from the Jim Oscarsson
barn, was away close and then shuffled, rolled by under no urging and won
easily. The next was Southwind Spirit’s wire-to-wire win. This Muscle Hill
product is from the Ron Burke barn. Derby won for Ray Schnittker in 1:59. He is
a son of Hambo-winner Deweycheatumnhowe. The highest priced trotting yearling
sold last fall, a Muscle Hill colt named Trixton, won in 1:59.2 from the Takter
barn. Shake It Cerry won for the third time in a baby race, this one a romp
from start to finish in 1:56.4, also for Team Takter.
Pacers featured wins by Avalanche
Hanover for trainer Linda Toscano and her filly student, JK Molly won in 1:56.
Put On A Display charged home from well back to win in 1:58.3 for trainer Chris
Ryder. Ideal Magic zipped to an effortless 1:53.3 win for trainer Tony Alagna
and Tellitlikeitis was a 1:53.3 winner for Takter.
Stampede Park, the home to horse racing, including great harness racing, in
Alberta for many years, was unreachable after the drastic flooding in Calgary.
The city was virtually shut down due to the area’s devastating floods. Photos
of the facility show the extend of the flooding through this link.
There may or may not be a 49th edition of the historic Frank Ryan Memorial
at Rideau-Carleton Raceway this summer and will not be a 32nd edition of the
Des Smith Classic. The two events, for open trotter and pacers respectively,
were the track's signature events but with the dire conditions of racing in
Ontario this year, the track feels it cannot present the events. Racing
secretary Benoit Frenette said, “We are trying to get a sponsor for the Frank
Ryan and I’m ninety percent sure that it will go forward but as an invitation
race. I can’t even say what the purse money would be at this stage.” Last year
the race went for $183,500. If the Frank Ryan survives, it will be presented on
Sunday, Aug. 18. However, the Des Smith Classic has definitely been cancelled
for 2013. Last year’s event went for $176,500.
