Campbellville, ON — Wheeling N Dealin, who went undefeated last season in nine starts, will start in the $1.2 million Hambletonian on Saturday at Meadowlands Racetrack in New Jersey.
Trained by Dustin Jones and owned by Ecurie Synergie, Wheeling N Dealin remains winless from three starts this season.
The son of Cantab Hall will begin from post one in his elimination for regular pilot Sylvain Filion. Three eliminations will take place with the top three finishers plus one fourth place finisher returning later that afternoon to compete for the rich final.
On Tuesday, before the draw took place, WEG’s Communications department spoke with trainer Dustin Jones. To watch the video, click on this link.
