Friday
morning saw the last of the qualifiers for the 2013 season and ultimately the
final to be held in front of the old grandstand. Harness racing's glamour boy
and current leader in the HRC weekly Top Ten standings, Captaintreacherous, put
on a display worthy of the event with a dazzling 1:50.1 mile closed by a 25.4
final quarter.
Away
from the races on a planned respite since his Meadowlands Pace tour de
force on July 13, "The Captain" looked pleased to be back in
action and romped to a long lead in the stretch while under restraint by
his regular pilot, Tim Tetrick.
The
pride of Captaintreacherous Racing, trained by Tony Alagna and managed by Myron
Bell, is reported to be headed to Pocono for the Battle of Brandywine, a part
of Super Stakes Saturday on August 17.
Here
at The Meds, we are into the final live racing weekend of the season. The
highlight is the biggest race of the year, Saturday's $1.2million
Hambletonian. Find all the info you could possibly need at The Meadowlands website
