Freshmen In Focus
The green pacers and
trotters have not been racing for long but the best of the frosh-colt pacers so
far are about to strut their stuff in Metro Pace eliminations at Mohawk this
Saturday, Aug. 24. The biggest feature for the future glamour boys is the
highlight of their season and next week the final will showcase the top
finishers in this week’s elims.
Our glamour-boy trotters
are also back on Sunday, Aug. 25, fighting at Vernon in the “Zweigs” (colts and
fillies a-trottin’) and since only eight dropping into the box for the Cane
Pace for the colt pacers at Tioga, no elims will be necessary; next week
presents the $360,212 final.
More live horses are projected in our exclusive horses to watch (H2W) list
from tracks around North America.

Metro Men
Saturday, Aug. 24, Mohawk sets up the field for the top
frosh-colt pacing stakes, The Metro with three elimination miles, each with a
purse of $40,000.
In set one we have Arthur Blue Chip, who we gave out last
week as he won his Nassagaweya split against similar at 7-1. He may be bet more
heavily here but still be worth it. More than an outside chance, however, goes
to outside post 9 and Avalanche Hanover. He is another son of
Somebeachsomewhere, this one trained by Linda Toscano, and he is bound to be in
the mix for a shot at the big final.
The next elim divison finds our other Nassagaweya winner, also paying 7-1, in a good spot to repeat. He is Somewhere In LA. Also raring for a good spot in the final and a possible upset here (odds are unpredictable) is Play It Again Sam.
The third elim also leans towards the talents of another
Somebeachsomewhere colt, Idealbeach Hanover. He was third to Somewhere In LA
last week and may escape some bettors who like entries by more popular
trainers. Carracci
Hanover is also from the same sire and may be as good as the other frosh
members of that family.
‘Great’ And Green Ladies
The Metro sister event for the frosh-filly pacers is the She’s A Great Lady and there are two $35,000 elims in store for this group.
These are two tough miles to handicap but in round one we are leaning toward Bahama Blue. She is the only filly here by Somebeachsomewhere and there is no denying that among these unpredictable youngsters, his influence is turning into money this season.
That being said, there are three from the sire in the second elim but we like a gal from the sire Well Said. She is Take That Hanover, trained by local John Darling.
Super Trotters Return
The soph-colt trotters battle
again, this time at Vernon on Aug. 25 in the $360,000 Dr. Harry M. Zweig
Memorial. The fillies have their own version and a consolation for each
division makes for a quartet of good wagering action. Read our analysis through

Canadian Pacing Derby
Two eliminations for the Canadian Pacing Derby attract 15-hopefuls as they prepare to dash this weekend for spots in the final field.
Warrawee Needy and A Rocknroll Dance highlight the second elimination. Although those two draw the best over the rest of the field, Pet Rock is not one to throw out. He always finds his way into the race, whether he uses an early brush to the lead or a sweep past everyone late. He’ll likely be forwardly placed and save something for the stretch.
H2W Legend
Review our choices and follow the wagering at the prescribed track. These are 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 it 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. Types of wagering on any of the H2W listed horses are based on your judgment. If you have any questions, email us at TwinSpires.
