Young Guns, Glamour Groups, Fire
Frosh-colt-and-filly trotters and pacers star in state-bred action on the East Coast and include many of the two-year-olds we have been reporting on in baby races. Saratoga hosts New York Sires Stakes (NYSS) frosh events on June 28 and the Meadowlands brings out the New Jersey Sires Stakes (NJSS) youngsters on both gaits that night and the following night, June 29. Freshmen show up for their initial battles of the season all around the U.S.A., including at Bangor, Scioto and Running Aces.
The soph-colt-and-filly trotting events on the Hambletonian Trail are analyzed on the exclusive blog. This includes the Earl Beale, Jr. final, trotters in sires stakes and Yonkers’ Hudson Filly Trot eliminations.
Our exclusive harness horses to watch (H2W) list from tracks around North America is short but sweet, presenting horses you need to take seriously at tracks around North America.
TwinSpires offers special bonuses for Hoosier Park throughout the harness meet. Check out the Hoosier details here.
Sun Stakes Sunday
Pocono Downs' big program on June 29 features stakes finals and consolations.
The Ben Franklin Consolation has five heading to the gate, with favoritism probably in the court of Sweet Lou. Favored in his elimination, Sweet Lou had no chance past the quarter, making a bad break. He’ll likely go to the front this week from the rail as will another horse, who will likely get a pocket trip.

He’ll likely go to the front this week from the rail as will another horse, who will likely get a pocket trip.
On countless occasions, Bolt The Duer has shown his prowess
only when he sits a pocket mile; such occasions include the Dan Patch and last
year’s Adios. He’s poised to get away in the two-hole with his draw and with
fractions that will come nowhere close to extreme, he will fly up the passing
lane providing an upset.
Lonewolf Currier, a horse that received plenty of buzz
heading into the “Hempt” eliminations, will be the likely choice in the event’s
consolation. Good Day Mate sat a pocket mile in his elimn. He had no chance to
move out of the pocket, seeing the fractions that were being posted. He showed
he can keep up and will likely be placed well and have enough for the stretch
drive.
Speed is the word to define the James Lynch Final. Ms Caila
J Fra, Charisma Hanover, Shebestingin, Somwherovrarainbow and I Luv The
Nitelife all have the ability to leave the gate quickly but getting the lead is
the trick. With speed developing in the race, it provides us an opportunity for
an upset.
Somwherovrarainbow will likely get a pocket trip in this
cavalcade of speed. In the elim, she led the mile, while I Luv The Nitelife sat
the pocket trip. Since I Luv The Nitelife drew to the outside here, it’s likely
she’ll leave faster than Somwherovrarainbow. She races very well from a pocket
trip and a slight Pocono bias has presented itself often enough to give the
pocket sitter the greatest benefit. She’ll provide bettors with value and a
good race.
Emeritus Maximus (our choice that paid $19.20) won his elim
with a pocket ride through monstrous fractions. He showed great fight heading
to the wire and will be in the mix at some point nearing the wire here. As for
Johny Rock, he was the one that set the monstrous fractions. Pacing his third
quarter in :25.4, he came home in :27.3. He can race either on the lead or in
the pocket, either way he’ll be big odds and near the top late.
Another race displays a giant speed scenario, the $500,000
Ben Franklin final. Razzle Dazzle, Up The Credit, Foiled Again, Pet Rock,
Betterthancheddar and Dynamic Youth are the names that will likely launch off
the wings of the starting gate. This race will likely set up for a pace stalker
rather than a deep closer. No other horse’s resume fits this position other
than Modern Legend. He has been flying late in his last three miles, two of
them being world records. He drew a good post to close from and will likely
have cover to ride into the stretch and he’ll do his thing from there.
Freshman Frenzy
On Friday, frosh colt pacers go around four turns in $45,000-plus divisions of the NYSS at Saratoga plus the Excelisor Series features froshes. These are tough races to handicap, as most performance lines consist of qualifier miles. Let’s go through each race with brief comments.
R2 Excelisor Series—Bettor On Top; Ontario gelding has raced with winners.
R4 NYSS—American Tower; should improve and close on this fresh speed.
R5 Excelisor Series—Southwind Scorpion; has the practice to win at first kick.
R6 NYSS—He’s Watching; great style, late kick could out-maneuver these.
R7 NYSS—Great American; prepped great at farm with long journeys, ready.
R8 Excelisor Series—Miracle Jjabe; big overlay with great early form.
R11 NYSS—I’m All Heart; Schnittker student is in top shape.
The Meadowlands’ NJSS presents frosh colt-and-filly trotters on June 28. Let’s go through these races with brief comments.
R2 NJSS—Fortunes Of Fables; Muscle Hill babies should excell, especially on the Meadowlands mile.
R4 NJSS—Before I Die; bettors may overlook this youngster whose sire sends out lots of young winners.
R11 NJSS—Chocolate Day; ditto on R4 comments about sire, though this one is bound to be a short price.
H2W Legend
Review our choices and follow the wagering at the prescribed track to decide how you will use the information. The list has shortened as the stakes season ensues but still offers the best possible contenders we have judged from reviewing races.
The horses’ names are listed beneath the name of the track after the date they will be racing. The race in which they are entered (R and race number) follows. If a + is in front of a horse’s name it means that horse is appearing on the list for the second (and last time) because it failed to win the first time it appeared.
An “ae” signals the horse is entered but on the also-eligible list (so it might not get into the race). Multi-horses may be listed in the same race. Horses from previous lists that are not racing this week will no longer appear until they are confirmed in a race.
Wagering on any of the H2W listed horses is based on your own judgment. Your handicapping skills should include decisions to wager to win, place, show or in exotics. If you have any questions about the H2W list, send them to us through the TwinSpires blog channel.
