Plenty of movement in Poll; Sebastian K still on top
August 5, 2014,by Ken Weingartner, Harness Racing Communications
Freehold, NJ — Sweet Lou moved nearer to No. 1 Sebastian K and Trixton pulled into a near dead heat with stablemate Father Patrick in this week’s Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll.
Sebastian K remained in the top spot coming off his world-record-equaling win in last week’s John Cashman Jr. Memorial while Sweet Lou, who won the U.S. Pacing Championship, swapped places with Father Patrick to take over the second slot.
Hambletonian winner Trixton vaulted from sixth to fourth, just one point behind Father Patrick.
Mission Brief, who equaled the world record in winning the Merrie Annabelle Stakes, and Ima Lula Series winner Classic Martine, who also equaled a world record, joined the Top 10. Mission Brief is ninth while Classic Martine is tied with Sandbetweenurtoes for the final spot.
Shake It Cerry dropped out of the Top 10.
