On Wednesday (Aug. 3), the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame formally inducted its 16 newest members in a long-awaited event to recognize the CHRHF classes named in 2020 and 2021.
There was little movement in the Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll, with the top five horses holding their positions and Alrajah One IT the only newcomer.
Canadian-owned Bulldog Hanover solidified his hold on No. 1 in the Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll thanks to his record-setting 1:45.4 mile to win the William R. Haughton Memorial at The Meadowlands this past Saturday. The four-year-old male pacer received all but one first-place vote and was one point shy of a perfect 350 points.
Live video from The Meadowlands is available for what the track has labelled "The Greatest Night in Harness Racing" on July 16, with more than $2.5 million in purses up for grabs and the $600,000 2022 Meadowlands Pace as the main event.
“Of course, you want to win and do well, but like everyone else, these are just stepping stones. Everyone’s goal is that first Saturday in August. Everyone’s goal is the Hambletonian.”
