The "Greatest Day in Harness Racing" is upon us, and the entries are in for the $3.5 million Saturday, Aug. 6 Hambletonian Day supporting card.

While much of the attention will be focused on the second leg of trotting’s Triple Crown on Saturday (August 6) at The Meadowlands for Hambletonian Day, a field of eight pacing colts and geldings will vie for the second leg of pacing’s Triple Crown — the Cane Pace.

A pair of fillies dropped into the box of the Hambletonian eliminations to try and become the third to beat the boys in the last five years and the 16th in the history of the event. Focus centered on Marcus Melander pupil Joviality S in the second $100,000 elimination on Saturday (July 30) at The Meadowlands until Jiggy Jog S stole the spotlight in the final yards.

When it comes to spotting a treasure, Rhonda MacGrath has a pretty good eye.

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.
