The Zweig Memorial 3YO trot will have both a new location
and format in 2012. Raced on Sunday, August 26th over Vernon Downs' highly
regarded seven-eighths mile strip for the first time, the race is expected to
attract the top sophomores in training.
This will be the
first season where the conditions dictate that the top money earners in 2012
will compete in the main event for both the open and filly races, with
consolations available for the other entrants. With the race now less than a
month away, the money standings for the nominees is available at the Vernon
Downs website
and will be updated regularly. The list of nominees and race conditions are
also available here.
