Freehold, NJ — Defending Pacer of the Year Captaintreacherous claimed control of the No. 1 spot in this week’s Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll.
Fresh off his win in the North America Cup, the 3-year-old colt pacer received 30 of 35 first-place votes and vaulted over older trotter Wishing Stone to become the third different top-ranked horse in four weeks. Wishing Stone, who got two first-place nods, slipped to No. 2.
The 3-year-old filly trotter Bee A Magician, older female trotter Maven and 3-year-old filly pacer I Luv The Nitelife, all coming off stakes victories last weekend, were big movers in the poll. Bee A Magician went from sixth to third while Maven debuted at No. 4 and I Luv The Nitelife was seventh.
Modern Family and Pet Rock dropped from the Top 10.
