Hightstown, NJ — There were no changes of positions in this week’s Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll. The only member of the Top 10 in action last week was Shartin N, who won in the Great Northeast Open Series for older female pacers Sunday.
The Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll does not determine Horse of the Year. The U.S. Harness Writers Association votes in December on all Dan Patch Award division winners plus Trotter of the Year, Pacer of the Year and Horse of the Year.
Rankings based on the votes of harness racing media representatives on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.
