As stakes season rapidly approaches, some of harness racing s most talented athletes including five defending Breeders Crown champions are among the 102 horses programmed to qualify at The Meadowlands on Friday morning (April 30).
Two-time Crown winner Amigo Volo headlines a stacked field of stakes-tested trotters in the eighth qualifier on the 14-race program. A winner of nine of 15 races including the Breeders Crown, Kentucky Futurity and nearly a million dollars in his three-year-old campaign, the gelded son of Father Patrick will return from a 5-1/2-month layoff after capping his sophomore season with a decisive 1:50.2 win in the Matron Stakes at Dover Downs.

Maverick, harness racing s highest priced yearling by virtue of his $1.1 million sale price, made a break in stride while closing in the stretch.

At 3-1, Perfect Sting ranks at No. 1 in
Trot Magazine s 2021 Pepsi North America Cup Spring Book.
The Brittany Farms and Val D Or Farms homebred lived up to his name as a freshman, never once tasting defeat in 10 starts while also racking up $534,300 in earnings. The royally-bred Perfect Sting exuded the qualities that made both his parents, Always B Miki and Shebestingin, champions namely ease, determination and a quick turn of foot all season long. So apparent was his command on the racetrack that he was dispatched at and won at odds of less than even money in his last eight starts as a freshman, culminating in his 1:50.2 dead heat with fellow Spring Book nominee Summa Cum Laude in the $600,0
