It took several days for Marcus Melander to fully appreciate Heaven Hanover’s win in the Hambletonian Oaks two weeks ago, but her last-to-first triumph from post 10 at The Meadowlands certainly put an immediate smile on his face.
After registering the biggest upset in Hambletonian history two weeks ago, Cool Papa Bell will head to Saturday’s (Aug. 20) $300,000 Earl Beal Jr. Memorial at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono at the other end of the spectrum as morning-line favourite.
After a delayed start to his four-year-old campaign, award-winning trotter Jujubee returned to action during Wednesday morning's (Aug. 3) qualifiers at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono.
As we reach the middle of May, many of harness racing's top performers from 2021 have hit the racetrack in racing action or made their way to prepare for stakes competition with qualifiers.
Jujubee, who was the 2021 Dan Patch Award Trotter of the Year as well as being voted the top three-year-old male trotter, has seen his four-year-old debut delayed, but owner Jon Erdner hopes his homebred star will be ready to return to action during the summer.
