North America's co-winningest horse the last two seasons, Winning Shadow, returned to winning form on Monday, Nov. 6 against the top company in the $20,000 Open Handicap Trot at MGM Northfield Park.
A dozen years ago, Chuck Pompey, Howard Taylor and Edwin Gold partnered as owners for the first time, purchasing a female pacer named Economy Terror. After an award-winning career on the track, she became a broodmare for the trio, and on Saturday, the group will send out one of her sons, Market Based, in the $600,000 Meadowlands Pace for three-year-olds at Meadowlands Racetrack.
Beach Glass was made the 7-5 morning-line favourite for the $600,000 Meadowlands Pace on July 16 after winning his elimination by 5-1/4 lengths in 1:48.1 on Saturday (July 9) and drawing post 6 for next week’s final at the Meadowlands Racetrack.
The “glamour boys,” the three-year-old pacers, were at Pocono for the Memorial Day Monday holiday card, competing in the second preliminaries of their respective events: three divisions of a $138,758 Pennsylvania Sire Stake, and four $20,000 cuts of the complementary Stallion Series.
The sport’s “glamour division”, the three-year-old pacing colts, came to The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono on Sunday (May 15) for three $30,000 divisions of a Pennsylvania All-Stars event, and the most impressive – not necessarily because he had the fastest time, but the way he raced – was the Betting Line colt Night Hawk.
