The
Harold Dancer is sponsored by the Standardbred Breeders & Owners
Association of New Jersey.
Only
three colts went to post. Chocolate Delight [by Chocolatier] broke early
and was never a factor.
Driver
Jeff Gregory sent Marion Mayday [Chocolatier] to the lead off the gate and
repelled a first half challenge from King Muscles, who settled into second
until tipped out in the stretch.
King
Muscles, with Cat Manzi driving, flew past Marion Mayday, crossing the wire
first in 2:04 flat. Chocolate Delight was a distant third.
King
Muscles picked up his first career win in the Harold Dancer. He also has
three seconds and one third in his six starts, banking $70,805 for owners
J&T Silva Stables LLC [Jerry and Teresa Silva] of Long Beach, NY.
Aaron
Lambert trains the $22,000 Harrisburg Sale purchase.
The
stakes record of 1:59, set in 2010 by Chapter Seven, was never in jeopardy.
