October 8, 2013,by Ken Weingartner, Harness Racing Communications
Freehold, NJ — For the second consecutive week, pacer Captaintreacherous gained two first-place votes and inched closer to No. 1 Bee A Magician in the Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll.
Captaintreacherous won his division of the Tattersalls Pace last weekend at The Red Mile, beating No. 6 Vegas Vacation by a neck in 1:47.2. Bee A Magician did not race last week.
The top six positions in the poll remained unchanged. Precocious Beauty made the biggest move, going from No. 10 to No. 8 following her world-record-equaling 1:50.1 victory in a division of the International Stallion Stakes at The Red Mile.
