Breeders Crown notebook: All in the family
Emoticon Hanover was a success in the Breeders Crown during her racing career, and her impact on the event has continued as a mom. Her first foal, filly Drawn Impression, won a Breeders Crown elim last year at age 2 and finished fourth in the final. Last week, Drawn Impression captured her Breeders Crown elim again and will head to Saturday’s $600,000 final for 3-year-old female trotters at The Meadowlands as the 5-2 morning-line favorite.
Draws completed for four remaining Breeders Crown finals

After each winning one of the year’s final Triple Crown races in their most recent starts for trainer Noel Daley, trotter Sig Sauer and pacer Captain Albano are ready for their respective Breeders Crown eliminations Saturday at The Meadowlands.
A magical time with Miki And Minnie
When female pacer That’s The Ticket was retired seven years ago because of an injury, owner Craig Henderson thought he would sell the 2016 Three Diamonds Stakes winner. That was until he received input from the filly’s trainer, Chris Ryder. “He told me not to sell her,” Henderson recalled. “He said she was going to have a great foal someday. He literally talked me into keeping That’s The Ticket. Her first two foals were fine; they both made over $100,000. But then along comes Miki And Minnie and it’s been phenomenal.” On Friday afternoon, she will compete in the first of two $25,000 eliminations of the Breeders Crown for 2-year-old female pacers at The Meadowlands.
