Beginning at 6PM the first of the two short field trots will
go to post followed immediately by the second split. The first division has
five horses while the second is a six-horse field.
Eligible drivers are, and must be, members of NAADA and
nearly all are also members of the C.K.G. Billings Series.
Bob Krivelin, fresh off his 2:01 triumph with Ace High Hall
in a Billings Series preliminary at Freehold Raceway on March 29, will be the
one to beat in the second of the two splits when they start from the five-hole
although Tremendous Hit and Robert Hechkoff, who’ll leave from the coveted pole
position, may dispute the previous statement.
In the first division, Billings president Tony Verruso has
his own Sam’s Honey ready for action after being scratched last week at
Freehold and they can expect a serious challenge from Mike Weiner and Black
Watch who’ll leave from post two.
On Thursday, April 12 the series moves to Monticello Raceway
with the third track, Freehold Raceway, not getting involved until the early
May.
The NAADA Trotting Series will continue on consecutive
Thursdays culminating with a $12,000 Final at Yonkers Raceway on May 17th
. The drivers who earned the most points in the six-race series will be
eligible to the series finale.
