In The Arsenal Bests Entrymate in Art Rooney,
Purrfect Bags Posts Upset In Lismore
By Perry Lefko
YONKERS, NY – In The Arsenal and Betting Exchange
went postward as a coupled entry in the $300,000 Art
Rooney Final for three-year-old colt pacers Saturday night
at Yonkers Raceway, but what happened in the race will
likely be remembered for how it ended. Bizarre. Strange.
Odd. Perplexing. Any one of those would sum it up.

Both had the lead at various points, and were actually in
an interesting battle in the stretch. It looked as though In
The Arsenal, driven by Brian Sears, would win easily, but
he started to bear out and took some funny steps. But he
was able to hold off Betting Exchange, driven by David
Miller, to win by a head.
Rock N’ Roll World placed third by a length.
“With every experience, I look for this colt to get better and
better,” said Sears. “He was a little green there at the wire,
kind of made a little bit of a right hand turn. Fortunately no
one was outside him. He’s done everything we've asked so
far. There’s times in the miles with this colt that he latches
on to you and wants to pace, and when they were pacing
past the quarter I was thinking about trying to get Dave, but
then they took a shot at me pretty good and I couldn’t open
the hole. But I was able to make my move to the front. He
felt good right through the turn, the only moment was right
at the end where he kind of ran out and I really can’t
explain it but he’s done some funny things in races before.
Hopefully, with experience he’ll get better and more
mature.”
For In The Arsenal’s trainer Kelvin Harrison, it was a
glorious win, albeit someone nervewracking.
“I really can’t say what happened,” Harrison said. “Brian
didn’t seem to be too concerned about it. I was worried (in
the stretch drive), but Brian said the horse was well within
himself. I was watching the race on the TV in the paddock
and probably had the worst view. After the race, my horse

World Champ Warrawee Needy and 2-Year-Olds
Bring Intrigue to Meadowlands Sale
By Bill Finley
What's the co-fastest pacer in the history of the sport
worth? And can the concept of selling 2-year-olds ever
catch on in harness racing? Those will be two of the many
questions that will be answered today at the 2015 Spring
Mixed Sale at the Meadowlands.
Warrawee Needy
is one of four horses
in the history of the
game to go in
1:46.4, the fastest
race time ever. That,
alone, makes him
the biggest name in
the sale. The
problem is that his
form has not been
great lately. The now
6-year-old son of E

cooled out good. He seemed very, very sharp after the
race.
“Obviously I’m very happy to win the race. I did expect to
win the race, but when you win a race of that caliber it’s
always a great thrill.”
Howard Taylor owns 10 percent of In The Arsenal with
breeder W hite Birch Farm, and 50 percent of Betting
Exchange.
The two entrymates went postward at 1-4 odds in the
field of eight. In The Arsenal paid $2.50 and $2.10. There
was no show wagering. The exacta paid $5.70. The trifecta
$18.
In The Arsenal, a son of American Ideal out of the On
The Road Again mare Ladyotra, collected $150,000 to
raise his lifetime bankroll to more than $580,000.
In The Arsenal went into the race undefeated in two
starts this season, including winning his elimination race for
the final. He had post position two, which gave him an
easier pathway to the front. Betting Exchange, starting from
post five in the field of eight, had a more difficult task.
Betting Exchange led by a nose after the opening quarter
mile while parked, followed by Rock N’ Roll W orld, while In
The Arsenal was a close third. Sears made his move and
led through a half in 56 and three quarters in 1:24. He had
a one-length lead at the top of the stretch.
Harrison said he will skip the Somebeachsomewhere
Stakes this Saturday at Mohawk Racetrack and go directly
into the June 13 elimination races for the $1 million North
America Cup on June 20.
“I just want to give him the best chance we can give him,”
Harrison said. “W ith the week off he’ll be even better. In a
perfect world we’ll go right into the North America Cup, skip
the Hempt and go right to the Meadowlands Pace.”
Purffect Bags Is Perfect In Lismore
Purrfect Bags made her season debut a winning one after
three qualifiers to win the $117,724 Lismore Pace for three
year-old fillies by two lengths.
Driven by Victor Kirby, Purrfect Bags was fifth by 3½
lengths at the top of the stretch, but finished strongly on the
outside with a final quarter in 27 2/5 to win in 1:52 3/5,
beating 2-5 favorite Sassa Hanover. Purrfect Bags went
postward at more than 11-1 odds.
Bedroomconfessions, 15-1, finished third.
Purrfect Bags is trained by Jim King and owned by his
wife, Joann Looney-King, who also trained Tyra, winner of
last year’s Lismore.
“Last year I won as a trainer and this year as an owner,”
she said. “W inning as an owner is much more profitable. I
paid $2,000 for the filly (by Roddy’s Bags Again) and
brought her home and my husband was less than thrilled,
but she’s been a nice filly all along.”
She’s now won more than $200,000.
Purrfect Bags paid $24.60 and $5.90. There was no show
wagering because of the entry of Strut My Stuff, who
finished fourth, and Totally Rusty, who was fifth. Sassa
Hanover paid $2.50 to place. The exacta paid $48.80.

earnings of $79,550 for trainer Mark Ford. He was fourth in
a $25,000 overnight race last out at Yonkers.
But what if a change of scenery to a new barn can turn
his fortunes around? A lot of people will no doubt have that
on their minds when he comes into the ring and someone
might be willing to pay good money based on that gamble.
"I think Warrawee Needy is a very interesting horse in
this sale," sales manager Dave Reid said. "Obviously, he's
a world champion and has quite a résumé. He'll be in
demand."
Looking for another horse to take a chance on? How
about Hip 84, Thats My Opinion. The son of
Somebeachsomewhere cost $350,000 at the 2012
Harrisburg sale but has never broken through on the
racetrack and has broken stride on several occasions. That
said, he does have a mark of 1:50.1, so there is some
ability there. He also, no doubt, increased his value
yesterday when finishing second behind Foiled Again in a
Meadowlands qualifier. He paced in 1:51 and finished
ahead of such notable horses as Bettor's Edge and
McW icked.
Buyers should also like Hip 41, My Hero Ron, who was
fourth in a Pennsylvania Sire Stakes race last out and Hip
69, Caviart Shelly. She's a 4-year-old mare by
Somebeachsomewhere who has won four in a row for
trainer Ron Burke and was second in the W eiss Final at
Pocono. As he often does at this time of the year, Burke
appears to be making room in his massive stable for fresh
• 5/31/15 PAGE 3 of 16
stock and 2-year-olds and has 14 horses in the catalogue.
This is the second year that the sale has included
2-year-olds as Reid, as well as others, is trying to entice
buyers and sellers to support the idea of selling juveniles.
Two-year-old sales are a huge business in thoroughbred
racing and many yearling buyers have made huge scores
pinhooking horses. There doesn't seem to be any reason
why the same concept wouldn't work in harness racing, but
the industry as a whole hasn't exactly been receptive to the
idea.
"I'm definitely disappointed in the level of participation
we've gotten for the 2 year olds," Reid said. "W e did a lot
of advertising and a lot of networking for this. There still
seems to be some psychological barrier standing in our
way and we have to overcome that hurdle."
There are 14 2-year-olds listed in the main catalogue and
three more in the supplemental catalogue. W ith four of the
2 year olds, buyers should have a good read on them as
that quartet qualified yesterday morning at the
Meadowlands. Rocky Hanover finished second and Play
Again was third in 1:58.4.
"W hile I wish we had more 2-year-olds to sell, I definitely
think we have a better overall group than last year," Reid
said. "A bunch baby raced at the Meadowlands and there
are a few others that should sell pretty well."
W hen asked about the future of 2-year-old sales, Reid
was noncommital.
"I'll have a better idea 24 hours from now," he said. "I'm
going to reserve judgment until I see how things go (today)
and see what some of these horses sell for."
Artspeak, Mission Brief Remain Undefeated In
2015, Canepa Hanover Looks Really Special
By Perry Lefko
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Artspeak and Mission Brief,
both champions last year, pulled off victories last night at
the Meadowlands in $100,000 New Jersey Sire Stakes
race, but what a contrast in the way they did it.
Artspeak did it spectacularly easy with a breathtaking
performance, making a brilliant move down the
backstretch. Mission Brief struggled throughout even when
leading and had to fight back after surrendering the top in
the stretch drive but still managed to hold on.
Artspeak, a son of W estern Ideal out of the Artsplace
mare The Art Museum, started from the eight post in the
• 5/31/15 PAGE 4 of 16
field of nine, and regular driver Scott Zeron showed
patience at the start of the race to settle into fourth. Gokudo
Hanover, driven by John Campell for trainer Douglas
Hamilton, blasted to the front from the sixth hole through an
opening quarter of 26 3/5 with a brief lead over Hurrikane
Ali, the 8-5 second choice in the field driven by Yannick
Gingras. At that point, Artspeak was fifth by eight lengths.
Artspeak (Zeron) in 1:48.4 - photo by Mike Lizzi
Hurrikane Ali made a move to overtake Gokudo Hanover,
but Zeron had already pulled out and was making a
sweeping move that had the colt second by three quarters
of a length after a half in 54 3/5. And there was simply no
stopping the 7-10 favorite, who reached the three-quarter
mark comfortably in 1:21 3/5, leading by two lengths and
three and a half lengths at the top of the stretch. Zeron had
the horse all wrapped up at that point and coasted to a
three-length win in 1:48 4/5.
Gokudo Hanover, 8-1, finished second, followed by 13-1
longshot Revenge Shark and Hurrikane Ali.
W ith his second consecutive win of the season and 10th
in 12 lifetime starts, Artspeak collected $50,000 to raise his
career bankroll to more than $800,000. He paid $3.40,
$2.60 and $2.20. Gokudo Hanover paid $4.00 and $3.20.
Revenge Shark paid $4.00. The exacta paid $13.80 and
the trifecta $48.20.
“It felt like I was way too far back,” Zeron said of the
opening quarter mile. “It was in a bad spot, but they floated
up up front and Artspeak just wanted to get there. That
(move) was pretty vicious. He did that all on his own and
stayed on the bit and from then on out it was pretty easy.
W e were pretty wrapped up with the plugs in. He was very
professional at two, but he’s just stronger, faster…I just
love the horse.”
Trainer Tony Alagna said after the race that he and the
connections would talk about the horse’s next start, and
while he suggested they will likely bypass next week’s
Somebeachsomewhere Stakes at Mohawk and go right into
the North America Cup eliminations on June 13. It’s similar
to the route Alagna took with Captaintreacherous, who was
owned by almost the same partners that own Artspeak.
Alagna marveled at the colt’s speed.
“He’s more like a sportscar,” Alagna said. “I always tell
people it’s like stepping on a gas pedal of a sports car.
• 5/31/15 PAGE 5 of 16
When you ask him, he’s gone. Captain could get into gear,
and he’d stay in gear forever. He’s not been tested yet, but
he will be.”
Marvin Katz, one of the owners of the colt with Brittany
Farms, Joe Sbrocco and The Gym Partners, was
absolutely taken aback by the colt’s latest win.
“He made that eight or 10 lengths up just in a heartbeat,”
Katz said. “It was a spectacular move down the backside,
of course, against good horses. That’s serious speed. This
horse has incredibly high speed. It’s very, very rare. W as it
the best race? I still have to go with the Metro and the
Governor’s Cup. Those are big, important victories. I’m still
going with those, but in terms of impressing me? He’s
impressed me many times. He’s clearly identified himself
as a horse that’s come back and is one of the main players,
for sure.”
Katz pointed out that Zeron was using a slightly different
bike than the one he normally uses because of the colt’s
powerful stride.
“His gait is so big and he drives off the back so hard that
he was hitting the bike (in his season-opening start),” Katz
said. “Tony got a longer bike for him because his gait is just
so big. He’s just covering so much ground with each stride,
Tony got the same type of bike Scotty uses but a bigger
one.”
Katz said the reason why Artspeak may skip the
Somebeachsomewhere is because of the intense schedule
that the colt will likely have this year after a
patiently-managed two-year-old campaign, almost similar to
Captaintreacherous.
“It’s a really intense schedule leading up to the
Meadowlands Pace. They could literally go every week for
almost two months straight,” he said. “You can’t do that, so
you have to try to get some breaks in when you can. The
partnership will discuss (the horse’s next start) and make a
decision, but I would think Tony is leaning to staying home.
It’s important to do what’s in the best interest of the horse.
Giving him some breaks in the early part of the year will
hopefully pay some dividends as the year goes along. Plus,
he raced last year in the Metro, so he’s familiar with the
track. He’s been over the surface. Scott knows the surface.
Tony knows the track. W e wouldn’t need that start,
whereas in some instances when a horse hasn’t been over
the track you have to try to get him over there once before
that.”
Mission Brief, last year’s champion two-year-old filly
trotter, started furthest out in the field of 10 and Gingras let
her find her stride while crossing over to the middle.
Marion Millionair, an 18-1 long shot who had the rail, set
the early pace with an opening quarter mile of 28 4/5.
Gingras, who had his horse second by 1¼ lengths, grabbed
the lead and had a two-length advantage after a half in 58
2/5. But Model Behavior, a 28-1 outsider driven by Tim
Tetrick, was making a serious move at the 1-5 favorite and
led by a nose after three quarters of a length in 1:27 1/5.
Model Behavior increased the lead to a head in the stretch,
but Mission Brief stayed strong and flat and passed her
• 5/31/15 PAGE 6 of 16
challenger on the inside to win by a half length.
Mission Brief, trained by Ron Burke, who owns the
fabulous filly with Our Horse Cents Stable, Jerry and
Theresa Silva and W eaver Bruscemi, won in a time of 1:54
3/5, finishing the final quarter of a mile in 28 4/5. Model
Behavior placed second, followed by Riley’s Dream.
Mission Brief, with her second consecutive win of the
season and 11th in 15 lifetime starts, collected $50,000 to
raise her bankroll to more than $653,000.
She paid $2.40, $2.10 and $2.10. Model Behavior paid
$10.80 and $4.40. Riley’s Dream paid $2.40. The exacta
paid $22.60 and the trifecta $67.40.
“W arming up she actually felt pretty good,” Gingras said.
“In the race, you know she’s not 100 percent. Now we’ve
got a month and Ronnie can try a few things with her and
see what’s going to work. Honestly, that’s as fast as I could
go. She didn’t feel like she was liking it too much. Timmy
got a head in front of me, but I knew if she’s still trotting in
the stretch she’s going to win the race. I was patient with
her, let her settle. She’s so much more mature. I can race
her any which way I want to right now. I can race her out of
a hole, out of cover, but the way it’s been going right now.
It’s a lot better to let her relax and get her gait straight.
That’s the biggest problem.”
The filly is not scheduled to race for a month. The big
question is whether she will be entered against the boys
later in 10 weeks time for the Hambletonian.
Canepa Hanover Sizzles
Canepa Hanover, a half-brother to 2006 Horse of the
Year Glidemaster, raced a monster mile in a $100,000
NJSS race for three-year-old male trotters, stopping the
teletimer in a swift 1:51 1/5, stamping himself as a serious
contender for the Hambletonian.
Driven by Gingras for trainer Jimmy Takter, who is in
Sweden for Maven’s race in the Ellitloppet, Canepa
Hanover made an early move for the lead from the four
hole and was never headed, setting fractions of 28 for the
opening quarter mile, 56 2/5 for the half and 1:24 through
three quarters. W ith every step he took, Canepa Hanover
simply drew away from the field, finishing the race 3½
lengths to the good. French Laundry, also trained by
Takter, finished strongly for second, while Aldebaran Eagle
finished third. Canepa Hanover, third choice in the field at
just over 5-2, paid $7.40, $3.40 and $2.40. French Laundry
paid $3.20 and $2.20, and Aldebaran Hanover paid $3.60.
The exacta paid $22.40 and the trifecta $71.40.
The win was only the second in 10 lifetime starts for
Canepa Hanover, who has banked less than $100,000. He
was purchased as a yearling for $300,000 and is owned by
Katz, Brittany Farms, Al Libfeld, Sam Goldband, Brixton
Medical Inc. and Christina Takter.
Canepa Hanover raced only six times last year, winning
once and finishing second in another. Takter practiced
patience with the colt, and had the owners’ full backing.
“Before Jimmy left for Sweden, he told me he had this
horse as good as he could be,” Gingras said. “He got a little
playful in the stretch, so I popped the plugs just to give him
a reminder and he found another gear…This horse is ready
to rock right now. It’s just a matter of getting him a little bit
better and having him ready in 10 weeks.”
Katz, still in awe of Artspeak’s race earlier in the card,
was equally impressed with Canepa Hanover.
“Jimmy liked him a great deal training down as a
two-year-old,” Katz said. “He was very high on him. He won
early as a two-year-old and showed devastating ability. He
just wasn’t mature enough. He’s a big colt. To Jimmy’s
credit, he stopped early with him without beating him up.
He kept him on his farm and started back with him and has
always felt this horse has a ton of ability. He was very high
on him, and by mid-winter he spoke glowingly of him. He
qualified him in 1:52 2/5. You don’t qualify trotters in that
time unless they are exceptional. It’s a tribute to Jimmy’s
talent and experience and skill as a trainer. The plan was
for Jimmy to drive him all along like he did with Trixton (last
year’s upset winner in the Hambo). Jimmy called it the
Trixton program. He’s been on a very similar program. The
fact Jimmy was driving him was just to make sure he knew
what he was doing on the racetrack and could be protected
when necessary. He clearly came to race tonight.
Obviously.”
Takter also trains last year’s champion two-year-old colt
trotter Pinkman, whom Gingras drives.
“It’ll all take care of itself,” Katz said.
Katz was also proud of the effort of French Laundry,
whom he and Libfeld bred and own with Christina Takter
and Jim and John Fielding. French Laundry won seven of
12 races last year and more than $300,000 and was
victorious in his season opener.
“He finished second in 1:51 4/5 and closed fastest of all
and raced super as well,” Katz said. “W e’re very proud of
him.” | share this story |

featured $10,000 Open Pace at Vernon Downs.
The 63-time
winner, now in the
care of trainer Allie
Berube for the Our
Horse Cents
Stables and Golden
Receiver, LLC, was
assigned post 4 in
the 5-horse event,
carded as Sunday's Golden Receiver makes his comeback
second race. The today at Vernon Downs
10-year-old Village
Jove gelding won 63 of his 172 starts, while finishing in the

With Maven, Et. Al., Heavy U.S. Influence In
Elitlopp
By Joakim Lindqvist
SOLVALLA, Sweden - The big moment is here as 16 of
the best trotters in the world will vie for superiority in The
Elitlopp 2015 at Solvalla racetrack in Sweden this
afternoon. And two Americans, Maven and W ind of the
North, racing in one elimination respectively, are the only
two contenders out of 16, with a world record. And then
there's Nuncio as well, who is now trained in Sweden after
a stellar campaign last year in the U.S. under the care of
Jimmy Takter. He is now trained by Stefan Melander.
There will be two
eliminations and then
the final, all three over
the mile.
Jimmy Takter tried
Maven in an light work
this Thursday.
"She
was smooth and eager
and has taken the last
races fantastically," he
said. "She's got the right
Maven seeks Elitlopp glory for Takter
form."
boys, trainer Jimmy and driver Johnny
Jimmy Takter won
The Elitlopp with Moni
Maker in 1998.
"But she was a big favourite and expected to win," Takter
said. "This year's Elitloppet is an open one. The most
important thing, is, of course, to reach the final, but at the
same time Maven must get the best result in the
elimination, for a good post in the final.
"You know, it will be tight and she must be lucky. There
are three turns. If she goes on the outside, every turn is two
lengths longer, that's six lengths over the mile".
Maven finished sixth in the final of The Elitlopp last year,
then for trainer Jonas Czernyson.
And then, she raced with shoes on all four. Lately Maven
has raced with shoes only on her back feet and twice this
winter in Paris she was shoeless on all four. W ill that be the
case on Sunday?
"No, if she races shoeless back, she becomes too quick,
with a bad timing," Takter said.
The elimination for Maven (4) is a tough one.
She faces the favourite, Norwegian B.B.S.Sugarlight (1)
who is expected to lead all the way. B.B.S.Sugarlight is the
early morning pick in 11 out of 15 newspapers, Maven the
pick in two of them.
There's also French star Timoko (7), last year's winner of
The Elitlopp. And Maven was also defeated by him in
several races in France this winter.
"Racing in France was a premature shot, with longer
distances, she's at her best over the mile. She's bred to be
• 5/31/15 PAGE 8 of 16
a miler," said Jimmy Takter.
Maven also faces Nahar (2) who won The Elitlopp in
2013. Nahar is 10 years old now, and if he does it, he'll be
the oldest ever to win this race.
W ind of the North (8) has a difficult post in his elimination.
Experts doesn't give him a good chance, but the last five
years, 9 finalists out of 40, came from posts 7 and 8 in the
eliminations.
Arriving in Sweden, W ind of the North is staying at
Swedish trainer Stig H Johansson's farm, just outside of
Stockholm. His trip to Sweden was a tough one, it took him
four days to get here, and he was dried out and thin on the
arrival. Now he's recovered and was alert and joyful in the
spelling paddock on Tuesday.
In Sweden we know of his explosive ability behind the
gate, and it will be a thrill to see the tactics of the
winningest driver in the world, Dave Palone.
Behind the gate, W ind of the North has Nuncio (7) on the
inside. Trainer and owner Stefan Melander took Nuncio to
Sweden this winter. He has performed with two wins in
April and May at Solvalla racetrack. The 4-year old Nuncio
is the youngest in this year's Elitloppet. Through the history,
since 1952, only one of that age, has won The Elitlopp.
That was the phenomenon Mack Lobell in 1988.
Melander finds it a myth that The Elitlopp is no good for
4-year-olds, and states that American ones are better
prepared for this.
In this elimination we see the favourite Mosaique Face
(4) who was back in the headlines last week, winning on
1.51.0. He's the early morning pick in 7 out of 15
newspapers, and expected to make a try for the early lead.
Here, there's also high interest in French Univers de Pan
(1), who, in The Finlandia Ajo in Helsinki May 17, finished
third, was locked in the pocket and gave a fantastic
impression. There's also Vincennes (3) who finished
second in the same race.
And the other Norwegian contender, Support Justice (2),
is highly respected as well.
Media has also circulated Royal Fighter (6), who will be
driven by Jennifer Tillman, the third female driver in the
history of The Elitlopp. It would be a surprise if he wins, but
this weekend at Solvalla last year, he won a race, defeating
B.S.S.Sugarlight.
The sum of $350,000 awaits the winner of The Elitlopp
2015.
Wiggle It Jiggleit Takes Center Stage on
Indiana Sires Stakes Finals Night
By Emily Gaskin
ANDERSON, IN (May 30) - On a night where Indiana’s
brightest harness racing stars were out in full force, W iggle
It Jiggleit was the brightest of them all as he paced to a
1:49.3 victory in the $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes Final for
three-year-old pacing colts on Saturday, May 30 at Hoosier
Park Racing & Casino over a sloppy rated track. Mother
Nature was uncooperative as Hoosier Park played host to
the first round of $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes final for the
three-year-old competitors on Saturday’s 14-race card.
The rain didn’t seem to inconvenience W iggle It Jiggleit
as he posted his tenth consecutive win and second
consecutive Hoosier Park victory to remain undefeated in
ten career starts.
Wiggle It Jiggleit scores his 10th consecutive victory in Indiana
Sires Stakes action
Leaving from post seven in a talented group of ten,
W iggle It Jiggleit was sent away from the gate firing by
driver Montrell Teague to grab the lead through the opening
panel in :26. As heavy rain continued to fall, the rest of the
field sorted out early position with Rockin Ron and Rick
Plano grabbing a pocket seat behind the overwhelming
favorite.
W iggle It Jiggleit continued to dictate fractions of :54.2
and 1:21.1 before ever feeling a threat from the rest of the
field. Freaky Feet Pete and Trace Tetrick were the first to
pose a threat as they were unable to find a spot along the
rail and pressed on to the front after being parked for the
much of the mile.
Freaky Feet Pete would finally find the rail as he was able
to tuck in behind the leader rounding the final turn but
would have his work cut out for him with W iggle It Jiggleit
inching away with every stride. W ith Freaky Feet Pete now
on his back, Teague asked W iggle It Jiggleit for more and
the colt responded with a :28 final quarter to coast home a
winner by a length. Freaky Feet Pete turned in his own
impressive performance to grind out a second place finish
after a very taxing mile. Harfo Hanover and Tony Hall
rounded out the trifecta.
"The weather didn’t bother me; you’ve got to race in all
kinds of weather,” owner George Teague Jr. noted in the
winner’s circle. “Good horses you don’t have to make
excuses for and we didn’t have to for him tonight, he was
able to overcome it.”
“He’s had two great races now and did everything we
wanted him to,” he continued. “Now, he can go on to those
other races and hopefully earn some respect against the
other horses. He seems to travel well and be easy on
himself so we’ll head to the North America Cup and see
how it goes up there."
Trained by Clyde Francis, W iggle It Jiggleit pushed his
career earnings to $142, 242 with the victory. W iggle It
Jiggleit is a gelded son of Mr. W iggles-Mozzi Hanover.
The action-paced night opened with the first $75,000 final
for three-year-old trotting fillies and Churita looked every bit
• 5/31/15 PAGE 9 of 16
the part of a 1-2 favorite as she overcame the outside post
nine to score in 1:55. Driven by regular pilot Trace Tetrick,
Churita dictated fractions of :28.1, :57.3, and 1:26 before
cruising to a five length victory. The 1:55 victory was a new
lifetime mark for the daughter of Airzoom
Lindy-Stonebridge Volare and her second consecutive
victory in 2015.
Trained by Matt Rheinheimer, Churita has now won 10 of
12 lifetime outings. Owned by Jackie Porter, Churita has
amassed $310,725 lifetime.
Fresh of a decisive win in the Indiana Sires Stakes
elimination last week, Nora Rockwell and Jason Dillander
turned in a gate-to-wire performance to take home top
honors in the $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes Final for
three-year-old pacing fillies. Scoring in a lifetime best of
1:52.2, Nora Rockwell outlasted all challenges from the rest
of the field to score her third victory of the season.
“She has matured quite a bit from last year and tonight
she was all business,” owner, trainer Marlin Fry noted after
the win. “She is doing now what I thought she might always
be capable of. Jason (Dillander) has done a great job with
her.”
Nora Rockwell is a homebred daughter of Palone
Ranger-Norma Rockwell. She has now won seven of 22
lifetime outings while earning $81,072.
W hile the stakes action switched gears, the weather did
not. Rain continued to fall on the Hoosier Park surface but
Homicide Hunter and John Delong seemed unbothered as
they scored a decisive victory in the $75,000 Indiana Sires
Stakes Final for three-year-old trotting colts. The 1:55.1
was a lifetime best performance and the second
consecutive win from two seasonal outings for the Curt
Grummel trainee.
Uninvolved in the early stages of the race, Homicide
Hunter was able to avoid traffic trouble and early breakers
to put away all challengers in the final eighth of the mile.
Using a :27 final quarter, Homicide Hunter held off the
heavily favored, Bluebird Reverend and Rick Farrington,
late in the lane to win by four lengths.
“It wasn’t exactly how I thought the race would play out
but the trip worked out for us,” Delong noted after the race.
“W e made a couple of adjustments after last week and
tonight he was awesome. He’s a perfect gentleman to drive
and he does everything you ask of him. He really raced
great tonight.”
Homicide Hunter sent his career earnings over the
$100,000 mark with the victory. Owned by Dr. Patrick
Graham, the son of Mr. Cantab-Evening Prayer has now
won five of 12 lifetime starts.
Each of the four stakes winners from tonight’s program
have now earned points for the $200,000 Indiana Sires
Stakes Super Finals. The 2015 Indiana Sires Stakes
season will culminate with the top ten horses from each of
the previous $75,000 finals returning to compete in a
$200,000 Super Final on October 10 at Hoosier Park. Live
racing will continue at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on
Tuesday, June 2 with a 14-race card.
Stubborn Belle, Solar Sister Share Stakes
Spotlight
Courtesy of Woodbine Entertainment
Ontario-sired sophomore fillies were in the spotlight
Saturday night at Mohawk Racetrack for the finals of the
W EG-SBOA Stakes.
A group of 10 fillies lined up on both the trot and the pace
to contest the rich finals. The three-year-old filly trot final
carried a purse of $179,661, while the pacing fillies battled
for a purse of $177,661.
The sophomore trotting fillies squared off in the first final
of the night and O’Brien Award winner Stubborn Belle
added to her trophy collection with a 1:55 victory.
Driven by Paul MacDonell, Stubborn Belle, the 4-5
favourite, showed early speed to win the battle to the front
ahead of a trio of fillies and posted an opening quarter of
:27.1.
Battle Mage, who was parked around the first turn, was
able to clear to the front as they began the journey down
the backstretch, but MacDonell wasted no time circling
back around to put Stubborn Belle once again on the lead
at the half in :56.2.
Stubborn Belle was then able to turn aside the challenge
of Meadow Seelster past three-quarters in 1:25.3 around
the final turn and opened up several lengths on the field.
The public’s choice trotted home in :29.2 to score a
three-length victory.
Meadow Seelster finished second, while Tymal Illbethere
got up for third.
Following the race, MacDonell said his filly showed
improvements from her elimination victory a week prior.
“She just seems to be getting better every week as we
go,” said MacDonell. “She’s actually come a long way. She
had a little incident early in the year [and] got behind a bit,
but anyways she’s back on schedule now.”
A daughter of Taurus Dream, Stubborn Belle is trained by
John Bax and owned by Bax’s Parkhill Stud Farm and Al
Libfeld. She is now two-for-two to start the season and has
visited the winner’s circle seven times in her career.
Stubborn Belle is staked to several of the major Grand
Circuit events this season and MacDonell thinks her
conditioning will improve as the season progresses to allow
her to battle with the best fillies in the sport.
“She’s got the power and strength, it’s just a matter of her
conditioning kicking in and mid-season John’s [Bax] horses
usually get better and better, so I can see her doing that.”
The W EG-SBOA victory pushes Stubborn Belle’s career
earnings over $614,000.
A $2 win ticket on the Bax trainee returned $3.70.
Following the filly trot final, the sky opened up and
downpour of rain soaked the Campbellville, Ont oval.
After a brief delay due to a power outage a few races
later on the card, the final for three-year-old pacing fillies
was contested and Solar Sister prevailed in a stretch duel
over Ms Mac N Cheese.
Driven by Doug McNair, Solar Sister, who won her
elimination last week, was able to get away in fourth, while
Code One Hanover grabbed the early lead into a :26.1
opening panel.
• 5/31/15 PAGE 10 of 16
In the second quarter, Ms Mac N Cheese, the other
elimination winner, moved from third to first and took the
field by the half in :54.2.
Solar Sister had to come first up around the final turn and
engaged in a battle with the leader by the three-quarter
pole in 1:23.1.
In the stretch, the two elimination winners went toe-to-toe
with Solar Sister edging ahead part way down the lane, but
Ms Mac N Cheese battled back on the inside. The fillies
slugged it out right to the wire and it was Solar Sister
prevailing by a neck in 1:51.2.
“I thought I had her [Ms Mac N Cheese] put away half
way down the lane and she still came back right down to
the wire, so it was a good race,” said McNair post-race. “My
filly raced tough first over. To win on a night like this, she
raced good.”
W rangler Magic finished third and Delightful Hill finished
fourth to round out the Superfecta.
A daughter of Mach Three, Solar Sister is trained by
Gregg McNair for owners David W illmot and Clay Horner.
Saturday’s victory improves Solar Sister’s record to
three-for-three this season and now gives her five career
victories. Last season, Solar Sister banked over $214,000
and wrapped up her season with a second-place finish in
the Three Diamonds Stakes.
“She got good at the end of last year and she’s got good
pedigree on her,” said McNair. “She seems obviously a
hundred percent, she’s three-for-three, and hopefully she
keeps getting stronger.”
Solar Sister now has career earnings of over $326,000
and established a new career-best with her 1:51.2 score.
A $2 win ticket on the McNair trainee returned $4.20 to
win.
This week's $34,000 Preferred Pace was won by 14-1
upsetter Ultimate Beachboy in wire-to-wire fashion for
trainer David Menary.
Driver Jody Jamieson sent the five-year-old
Somebeachsomewhere gelding to the first quarter in :26.1
while forcing the leaving outsider, Nickle Bag, to take back
and find a spot along the pylons in third-place behind last
week's Preferred upset winner Spinfiniti.
Ultimate Beachboy continued to lead past the half in
:55.1 and three-quarters in 1:23.3 while Nickle Bag was
flushed out off the pylons by the developing outer flow, but
was unable to improve his position in the final quarter
sprint.
Ultimate Beachboy opened up two lengths off the turn
and prevailed in 1:50.2. Spinfiniti held on for second-place
one and half lengths behind the winner as 7-5 favourite
Vegas Vacation and Shamballa closed late on the outside
and Thinking Out Loud followed in fifth.
Ultimate Beachboy is a four-time Preferred winner this
year on W EG circuit in eight starts for owners Burke Racing
Stable, W eaver Bruscemi, M1 Stable and Jack B. Piatt III.
Saturday's win was his 17th in 57 races lifetime and lifted
his bankroll over $370,000.
Ultimate Beachboy returned $31.80 to his backers for a
$2 investment.
The win was the fourth of the night for Jamieson and
second teaming up with Menary.

Dan Wilson’s Latest Missive on The Meadows Judges
A few weeks ago Scott Egger was transferred to Harrah’s
Chester. Doug Thomas was offered the Presiding Judge
position and is a very good, strict judge from Ohio that
would not have put up with the nonsense that now goes on
at the Meadows. Things would have changed. For
whatever reason, that did not happen. Since that time, the
Pennsylvania Commission has been taking applications to
fill that position and that process could be complete in a
few weeks.
Calls to Mr. Crawford from me have not been taken.
Once again, Mr. Crawford was in a meeting, on a
conference call or just stepped out for lunch. It should be
noted that Mr. Egger is still being shown as the Presiding
Judge in the official Meadows program as of May 29th.
On Friday night 5/29, another one of those pylon
violations happened. Only this time it involved Rich
Gillock’s (Pres. of the MSOA) horse Cue Hall. Tony Hall
• 5/31/15 PAGE 11 of 16
was clearly off the track in the lightning lane by his own
doing, but was left up for 3rd. It was a three way photo for
3rd, with each horse finishing 4 1/2 lengths back.
Race 8 can be viewed at www.themsoa.com if you would
like to review the replay.
So maybe its just not Mr, Egger. Could it be the total
ineptness of the judges at the Meadows. Those being
Randy Blackhurst and Gary Reese, with the acting
Presiding Judge unknown at this time.
It should be noted that Mr. Blackhurst is extremely
horsemen friendly and probably would have not worked
well with Mr. Thomas.
I hope to have a follow up next week.

Towers on Burke: This Guy’s Not Buying It
I appreciate Dean's perspective, however his amazement
with Ron Burke's success has raised my interest. Being a
professional engineer I tend to see the world analytically.
Ron Burke's success is clearly outside of traditional,
accepted performance criteria. Compared to his peers, he
exceeds the limits to the point of ridiculousness. Just
because he has till now been able to operate with impunity
does not mean everything is on the up and up. It only
suggests that those charged with oversight are using
inferior detecting methodology and says more about their
inability to find issues than Mr. Burke's performance
competence.
The reality is that you cannot catch issues that are
"Outside of the Box" with traditional techniques. I believe
Mr. Burke is ahead of the curve and will stay that way till
smarter, more experienced out-of-the box thinkers are put
into place. If you've ever watched CSI (while entertainment)
dealing with brilliant offenders or seen an NBA or NFL team
make halftime strategy adjustments, you get the idea.. We
simply need smarter, flexible officials.
W hat we have is an exponentially smarter version of Lou
Pena and he will continue to operate this way until he is no
longer, legally able. The ball is in the court of those
charged with oversight and so far they have been proven
incapable.
My last statement is that when you put people,
opportunity and money together along with somewhat out
of the norm performance, if it quacks like a duck....
--David Perry
When Zero Doesn’t Equal Zero
Is it planned or does it just happen? Saturday night, the
races at Meadowlands and Pocono seem to go off at
almost the same time. This seems to me to be very poorly
planned and very inconvenient to fans. W hy is it necessary
to parade the horses around for several minutes after the
post time clock shows 0 minutes to post?
