July 21, 2015,by Ken Weingartner, Harness Racing Communications
Freehold, NJ — Three wins, no change at the top.
Wiggle It Jiggleit, JL Cruze, and Bee A Magician — the top three horses in the Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll — all posted victories last weekend and saw their position unchanged in this week’s rankings. Meadowlands Pace winner Wiggle It Jiggleit remained No. 1, followed by JL Cruze and Bee A Magician.
JL Cruze won the Hambletonian Maturity and Bee A Magician returned from nearly a one-month layoff to win the Open at the Meadowlands.
Pinkman, who won a division of the Dancer Memorial, moved from sixth to fourth in the poll. Wakizashi Hanover, who finished third in the Meadowlands Pace, rounded out the top five.
Rankings based on the votes of harness racing media representatives on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.
