Last week, June 6, "Mark Akins" claimed TWO trotters for $25k @ at Pocono. Is listed as owner and trainer.
June 13 Race 2: Allard opts off of #1 (Burke horse, ML favorite) and onto the first of the claimed horses, Crazycat. Crazycat, 10 yo gelding, prior lifetime mark of 1:54, blazes to a 1:52:2 mile for fun.
June 13 Race 10: Allard opts off of #5 (classy French trotter who won the Game of Claims and has over $50k on his card) and drives the 2nd claimed horse, Nasey (who is fast, but breaks if used too roughly). Nasey goes for the lead, is rebuffed and sits the pocket, comes up the inside and jogburgers home.
