East Rutherford, NJ - Friday night at The Meadowlands brings
with it a ten race live card featuring the $52,500 final of the Shiaway St Pat
series for trotters.
An interesting field it is, with the ultra impressive leg #1
winner Deep Impact getting a slight 3-1 nod from the oddsmaker after skipping
last week's leg #2. The carefully managed 5-year-old rolled right on by the
field in a career best 1:53.1 a fortnight ago, looking like there was plenty
left in the tank. He'll begin from post 9 for trainer driver Ake Svanstedt and owner
the Van Camp Trotting Corporation.
Deep Impact, however, is not in by himself and faces another
fast, fresh horse in the speedy Sutton, leaving from post 7 for Andy Miller.
After missing an entire season, Sutton disappointed as the heavy favorite in
the first leg but redeemed himself with a scorching 1:51.3 last week and will
have to be dealt with in the final. Julie Miller trains the accomplished
5-year-old for Andy's interest as Andy Miller Stable and partners Jason and
Doug Allen.
