Grand Circuit action returned to Harrah’s Hoosier Park with five divisions of The Star Destroyer for three-year-olds highlighting the 14-race card on Friday, Nov. 17. Entering as the headliners on the card, French Wine and Coach Stefanos did not disappoint.
It was Moment Is Here’s resemblance to his father, All Bets Off, that first attracted co-owner Frank Baldachino to the now three-year-old pacer. After watching Moment Is Here compete for two years, Baldachino has seen that the parallels go beyond looks.
Two-year-old pacers Captain Albano and Geocentric will head to their respective Breeders Crown finals on Friday, Oct. 27 at Harrah’s Hoosier Park in a similar position. Each was made a 4-5 morning-line favourite to bring back a trophy.
Please note that if one owner of the mare to be bred is an Onttario resident, the cost will be $3,750 + HST.
