Freehold, NJ — Foiled Again became the first pacer in harness racing history to surpass $5 million in lifetime earnings last weekend and vaulted into the top five of this week’s Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll.
Captaintreacherous remained in the No. 1 spot after his win from post nine in the Hempt Memorial last Saturday at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. One race later, Foiled Again won the Ben Franklin Pace and pushed his career earnings to $5.17 million.
I Luv The Nitelife, who won the Lynch Memorial at Pocono Downs last Saturday, moved to third in the poll behind Bee A Magician, who was idle.
Vegas Vacation moved into the Top 10 after finishing a fast-closing second to Captaintreacherous in the Hempt.
