By Frank Cotolo, for Breeders Crown
ANDERSON, Ind. – What The Hill dominated his division foes
again as he won the $527,500 Breeders Crown 3-Year-Old Colt and Gelding Trot at
Hoosier Park Saturday night in 1:52.3. David Miller drove the winner.
Four left the gate evenly, finding spots behind Lindy The
Great, who guided the field through a :26.4 opening quarter. In the catbird
seat was slight 7-5 favorite What The Hill as positions stayed the same through
a half in :55.4.
Yes Mickey began an overland journey to chase the top two,
passing Top Flight Angel and Seven And Seven, who had no chance when What The
Hill left the pocket and glided down the stretch to deny Lindy The Great the
win, as International Moni, also 7-5 at post time, closed strongly down the
center of the track.
What The Hill stayed in flight to win by 2 lengths over
Lindy The Great, who held second as International Moni picked up the third
spot.
Stan Klemencic bred What The Hill (Muscle Hill-K T Cha
Cha). Ron Burke trains the colt, owned by his Burke Racing Stable, Our Horse
Cents Stables and J & T Silva Stables.
What The Hill paid $4.80 to win.
