If either of last week’s MGM Yonkers Trot elimination winners, the filly Joviality S or the colt Justice, is going to capture Friday’s $280,904 final at Yonkers Raceway, they will have to overcome not only their rivals, but difficult starting spots.
Bulldog Hanover joined the Top 10 in this week’s Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll, arriving at No. 6 after his 1:47 victory in a division of the Graduate Series for four-year-old male pacers this past Saturday at The Meadowlands.
PJ Lou never gets caught napping at the start of a race. The three-year-old male pacer has been worse than second at the quarter-mile point in only three of 18 lifetime starts and has been worse than third at the half just once in his career debut.
Millionaire trotting filly Joviality S, the Breeders Crown champ at two and now undefeated in her sophomore campaign, will take on the boys in her next test.
