American Classic has been an all-or-nothing type of horse of late, but brought his speed show to The Meadowlands and used that high octane to easily win the feature on Saturday, Oct. 21.
Yannick Gingras had, what for him, was just another night at the salt mine on Friday night (April 21) at The Meadowlands, as the 43-year-old Hall of Fame pilot won both $40,000 Standardbred Retirement Foundation Series finals for three-year-olds.
North America Cup eligible Caviart Camden, the co-fastest two-year-old ever by virtue of his 1:48.3 victory last season, is undefeated after two 2022 starts including a 1:50.4 victory at Harrah’s Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon (June 1).

Southwind Gendry solidified his spot as one of the tops in his division Saturday (May 1) at The Meadows when he blazed a Pennsylvania Sires Stake (PASS) split in 1:49.4. Literl Lad Hanover captured the other division in the $153,856 event for three-year-old pacing colts and geldings, known as the Bye Bye Byrd, giving trainer Ron Burke a stake sweep.
Purchased as a yearling for a relatively modest $30,000, Southwind Gendry exceeded expectations by winning the PASS Championship, the Matron and divisions of the Bluegrass and International Stallion stakes in progress to banking $583,069 for owners Burke Racing Stable, Phillip Collura, Knox Services and J&T Silva-Purnel & Libby.
