May 19, 2015,by Ken Weingartner, Harness Racing Communications
Freehold, NJ — Bee A Magician, who on Saturday became the first female trotter to win the Cutler Memorial, is No. 1 in the first Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll of 2015. The 5-year-old is 3-for-3 this season, defeating male rivals in all of her starts.
Three-year-old male pacer Wiggle It Jiggleit is No. 2 in the rankings. The gelding has won all seven of his starts this year, including the Buddy Gilmour Series championship in March. His most recent performance was a world-record 1:49 effort in a conditioned race at Harrington.
Confederation Cup winner All Bets Off, a 4-year-old male pacer, is third in the poll, followed by Levy Pacing Series champ Domethatagain and 3-year-old male pacer Artspeak, who made his seasonal debut last weekend with a 1:49 victory in a division of the New Jersey Sire Stakes.
Rounding out the Top 10 are 4-year-old male trotter JL Cruze, 4-year-old male pacer JK Endofanera, 3-year-old male trotter Habitat, 3-year-old female trotter Mission Brief, and 6-year-old male trotter Melady’s Monet.
Rankings based on the votes of harness racing media representatives on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.
