No change at the top; Southwind Ozzi returns to this week’s poll

Hightstown, NJ — Southwind Ozzi returned to the top 10 in this week’s Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll following his win in last week’s Pennsylvania Sire Stakes final. The 3-year-old pacing colt, who made his previous top-10 appearance in week 10, was the only newcomer in the top 10.

For the second consecutive week, Shartin N was the unanimous No. 1. The 6-year-old female pacer was idle last week.

Following is how the remainder of this week’s top 10 fared: Lather Up, scratched from Ewart Memorial; Bettor’s Wish, idle; Greenshoe, won Kentucky Sire Stakes division; Atlanta, won Hill Memorial; Real Cool Sam, won Pennsylvania Sire Stakes final; Forbidden Trade, idle; Captain Crunch, fourth in Pennsylvania Sire Stakes final; Gimpanzee, idle.

Dropping out of the top 10: Guardian Angel AS, fourth in Hill Memorial.
