Brandon Blvd leads unchanged Top 10 Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll

There were no changes to the Top 10 in the Week 22 edition of the Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll released Wednesday (Nov. 11), with Brandon Blvd (Downbytheseaside) remaining No. 1 for the third consecutive week.

On To Norway was the only horse in the Top 10 in action last week, winning the Open at Harrah’s Hoosier Park, as he stayed No. 2 in the poll. He was followed by Super Chapter, Twin B Joe Fresh and Wrong Sounds Right to complete the top five. On To Norway and Super Chapter are set to meet in the $300,000 FanDuel Open Trot championship (G1) at the Meadowlands. Twin B Joe Fresh is entered in the $150,000 FanDuel Mare Pace championship (G2) one race after the Open Trot final.

Rounding out the Top 10 were Wall Of Fame, Nezuko Kamado S, Miss Jum Jabber, Big Ranger, and Apex.

The Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll, which will continue weekly on Wednesdays through the Grand Circuit season, does not determine year-end awards. The members of the U.S. Harness Writers Association vote on all Dan Patch Award division winners plus Trotter of the Year, Pacer of the Year, and Horse of the Year.

Rankings based on the votes of harness racing media representatives on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.
