North America's co-winningest horse the last two seasons, Winning Shadow, returned to winning form on Monday, Nov. 6 against the top company in the $20,000 Open Handicap Trot at MGM Northfield Park.

A dozen years ago, Chuck Pompey, Howard Taylor and Edwin Gold partnered as owners for the first time, purchasing a female pacer named Economy Terror. After an award-winning career on the track, she became a broodmare for the trio, and on Saturday, the group will send out one of her sons, Market Based, in the $600,000 Meadowlands Pace for three-year-olds at Meadowlands Racetrack.

Beach Glass was made the 7-5 morning-line favourite for the $600,000 Meadowlands Pace on July 16 after winning his elimination by 5-1/4 lengths in 1:48.1 on Saturday (July 9) and drawing post 6 for next week’s final at the Meadowlands Racetrack.

The “glamour boys,” the three-year-old pacers, were at Pocono for the Memorial Day Monday holiday card, competing in the second preliminaries of their respective events: three divisions of a $138,758 Pennsylvania Sire Stake, and four $20,000 cuts of the complementary Stallion Series.

The sport’s “glamour division”, the three-year-old pacing colts, came to The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono on Sunday (May 15) for three $30,000 divisions of a Pennsylvania All-Stars event, and the most impressive – not necessarily because he had the fastest time, but the way he raced – was the Betting Line colt Night Hawk.

Test Of Faith, the fastest two-year-old of 2020, showed she’s ready for whatever her opponents may throw at her with a sensational qualifying victory on Tuesday (May 25) at Harrah’s Philadelphia.

Test Of Faith moved up to second, still six lengths off the lead, by the...

After taking the Friday night feature with 7-5 favorite Betalady, driver Corey Callahan, aka “The Captain”, also scored in Saturday night’s (Feb. 27) marquee event, winning the $27,500 Winners Over/Open Pace with 11-1 outsider Shnitzledosomethin at The Meadowlands. Not only did Callahan drive well, he had a big decision to make well before the race even began. Should he drive Shnitzledosomethin, or Lyons Steel, whom he guided to the winner’s circle in the weekly feature last week? “It...

CHESTER PA - With the temperature registering just two degrees above freezing, the Banker Volo sophomore trotting gelding Itsonlymoneyhoney provided the heat by winning the trotting section of a pair of $11,200 features in a lifetime best of 1:55.4 on Friday afternoon at Harrahs Philadelphia.
