Rock N Roll Heaven takes over lead in Poll
October 5, 2010,from Harness Racing Communications
Freehold, NJ — For the first time since June 8, there is a new No. 1 in the Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown Top 10 poll.
Rock N Roll Heaven, who followed up his world record Little Brown Jug victory with a win in his Breeders Crown elimination last weekend at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, vaulted to the top spot ahead of longtime leader Shark Gesture. Rock N Roll Heaven, who led the poll prior to Shark Gesture’s ascent in June, gained eight first-place votes in the process.
Shark Gesture, who will race in Saturday’s Breeders Crown Open Pace, was idle because eliminations were unnecessary.
There were no other changes in the Top 10.
