Somebeachsomewhere to the Yonk; Art Official Hurt
On one of the biggest thoroughbred days of the year, I found it only fitting to throw some harness racing news at you. While you’re watching Curlin run in the Breeder’s Cup Classic, his harness equivelant will be racing on the other side of the country.
Somebeachsomewhere, the fastest 3-year old pacer of all-time, will be taking to the half-mile track at Yonkers in the Messenger Cup. He’ll be running against Little Brown Jug winner Shadow Play and four other non-factors for $650,000. Somebeachsomewhere is the morning line 1-2 favorite.
The Beach’s nemesis, Art Official, the only horse ever to defeat him, is also making news, as a torn muscle in his leg has prematurely ended his 3-year old season, killing any chance of a Meadowlands Pace rematch.
Art Official is expected to return as a 4-year old, while Somebeachsomewhere is ready to call it a career after next month’s Breeders Crown races at the Meadowlands.
And while I have your attention on harness racing, 3-year old trotting freak Deweycheatumnhowe will be running in a “special” $20,000 race at Vernon Downs for Halloween. So if you’re in the New York area and would like a free 10% on your money, put it all on Dewey to show in that race. Pretty much a guaranteed $2.10 on your $2 bet.
You can now return to ignoring harness racing, the sport of true degenerates.
