Crantini idled while the field settled, then powered to the point and drew off late to keep his two-race career unblemished in Wednesday’s (July 13) $152,430 Pennsylvania Sire Stake at The Meadows. Kenobi captured the other split in the event, known as the Hickory Pride, for freshmen trotting colts and geldings.
If you could draw up a dream debut for your colt, it probably would look a lot like the race Crantini recoded in his first start. In a $35,000 Pennsylvania All Stars split at Pocono, the two-year-old trotter left alertly from post eight, found the pocket, then rolled to victory in a stellar 1:56.4.
The two-year-olds saw their first stakes action at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono on Monday afternoon, with two $35,000 divisions of a Pennsylvania All-Stars event for trotting colts.
