Hambo card…

[Harness racer]

Nancy will fair much better than she did on Pace night card!  McClure replaced by Timmy T on Sylvia Hanover.  Allegiant to spring mild upset on the Oaks.  Any have any early thoughts or observations?

The illustrious Cane Pace coveted jewel in the Triple Crown attracted a grand total of 5 entries.

It would be nice to know how many were nominated, and how many were eligible at the time of the draw.

Even on a 'big track' only 5 entries! If it was Yonkers and a 1/2-mile track, then it would be more understandable.

You should just eliminate the 'triple crown' all together and just have more big money races for the 3-year-olds.  It would be intriguing to watch on a weekly basis from june through the end of the racing season and the breeder's crown.

The Cane having 5 entries is a big disappointment.
Where is Bythemissal? Did he breakdown in the Battle?
There are plenty of big fields. That will hopefully result in some prices.
Cashman, Steele, & Mckee should be interesting.
Will the Hambletonian big two duel & set it up for someone else? Will others be good enough to capitalize...if so?

I like Etsell's Trotter in the Hambo, good post to get away close. If he is within striking distance of Karl and TCI at the top of the lane it will be interesting...... he is a powerful animal.

I think it is a good card of racing you jerks complain about everything just a sour bunch of losers.

I agree it's a nice card, just not what it once was.  Cane pace drawing 5 is ridiculous.

24 hr detention stops nothing but the shakers.  Yogurt OK….  And no detention for Shady Daisy , NJ SS or Kindergarten. Let the good times roll.
