SERIES FINAL SET FOR WEDNESDAY

The Pop Up Series final for freshmen filly trotters will take place this Wednesday (July 15), and is carded as Race #1 on the 13-race card.  Daringly, a Southwind Frank homebred filly owned by the Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi, LLC, is the 6-5 morning line favorite for driver Ronnie Wrenn.  She won her most recent start in 1:57.2.  Post time for the Wednesday card is 12:45pm.

 

TOP TROTTERS FEATURED ON THURSDAY

Thursday’s 12:45 afternoon card will kick off with the top race of the week for trotters, the $18,000 Open Handicap.  Southwind Caspian and Big Shoes, bother from the Burke Stable, will likely take significant play.  Southwind Caspian (Walner) went wire-to-wire last week for driver Mike Wilder in 1:51.4, a career best.  Big Shoes (Greenshoe) made a break at the start last week, spotted the field nearly 20 lengths, then came back to finish 5^th in 1:53.3, with a 27.3 final quarter.  Good Feeln To Know, out of the Rick Hercules Stable, is also in the field after finishing second to the winner in last week’s Open, mossing only by ¾ of a length.
