Freehold, NJ — Record-setting wins by Vegas Vacation and Pet Rock helped the two pacers make significant gains in this week’s Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll.
The top five positions in the rankings remained unchanged, with Bee A Magician leading the way, followed by Captaintreacherous, I Luv The Nitelife, Royalty For Life and Father Patrick.
Vegas Vacation, who won his division of the Simcoe Stakes in a stakes-record 1:48.3 climbed from No. 10 to seventh in the poll. Pet Rock, who won the Jim Ewart Memorial in 1:47.2 at Scioto Downs moved into the Top 10, at No. 9. Pet Rock’s time was the fastest ever on a five-eighths-mile track.
Market Share dropped out of the Top 10.
