Fiftydallarbill was a 1:55 upset winner in the Breeders Crown freshman male trot.
Fiftydallarbill (Swan For All-CR Dixie Chick) settled into sixth off the gate as Met’s Hall and Samo Different Day fired quickly to the front with the former getting the top. Fourth Dimension, the 1-2 public choice, took a spot in fourth. Missle Hill jumped as the field was set in motion.
Met’s Hall took the first quarter in :27.3 and as the half came in :57, Crystal Fashion started the outer flow, with Dawson Springs taking cover and Fiftydallarbill third over. Crystal Fashion swung around the turn and was pressured as he hit three-quarters in 1:26.4.
With Crystal Fashion tiring, Fiftydallarbill was full of trot, defying Met’s Hall, who was all out to stay afloat to the wire but Fiftydallarbill easily passed him as the backfield faded, except for Samo Different Day, who kept going and took third over Skyway Torpedo.
William Crone trains Fiftydallarbill for owner John E. Barnard. John Miller was the breeder.
Fiftydallarbill paid $17.20 to win.
