4 yrs ago Northville vet bart stimer and his wife became a million powerball bucks richer. and good for them.
The harnesslink story talks of the winning ticket almost lost, but recovered in time on the ohio turnpike between concord mich and northfield park cleveland that night. a night when the mich. invader won with his 7 yr old gray, GUNNIN'FORAFIGHT.
Tonight at northfield and a powerball 'minor' prize four years later, Bart returns for his weekly winter wednesday night pilgrimmage...thi s time trucking 5 cheap but loveable head to help NF be able to card 15 competitive races, and pick up something more than just gas and hay money...and give all of us wed night players some choices at great odds to look at.
taking a look at program for tonight, with 3 pacers/2 trotters, all 5 got their tighteners in last week after three weeks off....mr stimer, yet to even place in 21 starts so far this season in ohio+ but with a couple of chances to change that tonight, is in:
*1st with his 9 yr old Model Ninetyfour..unfor tunately the #8 post should keep him away from any coin this eve.
*9th drew the cruel #8 spot again with Catera Gun..not here not at 2000L5
however,
*moving to the 10th, things should(could) get interesting for both bart and the betting public.
the good luck gray I mentioned earlier, back in tonight at the #5 post, 20-1 M/L GUNNIN'FORAFIGHT at level he can deal with...moderate early speed keeps in range of superfecta ticket behind the inside four here, inc heavy fave merriman #2 .a 'follow the leader' race very possible...I call for double-digit STIMER KEYED 4TH IN SUPER AND THIRD IN TRI.
*the 11th, his BEST chance of winter season to break the goose egg...driving and training for mr. copp of hillsdale, mi.,,#3 STONEBOROUGH the 7 yr. old trotter a game vet, though breaking issues have cropped up inc. last, the tightener. A competitive field, (inc. a rare scheduled appearance by bill popio)..BUT I say right here Stimer visits winner circle...has faced tougher.....loooo ong way to come to cleveland for nothing. good luck bettors.
*the 14th and final....the end of long long day for a travelling horseman with 5 head, maiden trot #6 Major Moolah...yea nw1 trots, anything can happen --he thirded last week at 80-1...dont believe thats in cards tonight,,,could a begging bottom super 4th be a risk..possibly... .but hell, who knows, lots of breakers here.
GOOD LUCK ALL...and to Bart Stimer and gys and girls like him who travel distances to keep us betting on fullfield harness racing.....safe trip sir and hold on to your damn lottery ticket.
