While he showed his usual talent, there was something different about 2019 Horse of the Year Forbidden Trade in his Saturday morning qualifying effort at The Meadowlands. During an 11-dash card of qualifiers at The Big M, one qualifying event definitely contained the most star power despite being reduced to a three-horse field. The group of older trotters included 2019 Hambletonian winner and Canada's Horse of the Year Forbidden Trade, 2020 Hambletonian winner and U.S. Three-Year-Old Trotting Filly of the Year Ramona Hill, and multiple world record holder and two-time divisional champion stateside Amigo Volo. All three of these horses were qualifying for the second time in 2021, with all three finishing back of When Dovescry in a 1:56.4 qualifier last Friday.
