Wiggle It Jiggleit tackles third return qualifier Tuesday at Philadelphia

Chester, PA — The 2015 Harness Horse of the Year, Wiggle It Jiggleit, continues his comeback after being away from the races for almost three years, set to go in a Tuesday morning (Sept. 1) qualifying session at Harrah’s Philadelphia.

So far in 2019, Wiggle It Jiggleit posted a 1:53.4 qualifying victory, rushing home in :27, at Philadelphia two weeks ago, and then last week at Pocono he was third, timed in 1:54.1, after setting the pace.

Montrell Teague is set to reclaim his usual spot behind Wiggle It Jiggleit. Last week he was committed at Philadelphia to drive a horse named Mr Jagerbomber, who won after a layoff of 105 weeks. Wiggle It Jiggleit will start from post six in the sixth of nine qualifiers on Tuesday, and his race should go somewhere near 11 a.m.

Now seven, the altered son of Mr Wiggles–Mozzi Hanover won his only start at two, then won 22 of 26 starts and almost $2.2 million at three en route to being named 2015 Harness Horse of the Year. At four, he posted 15 wins and seven seconds in 24 starts, worth another $1.7 million, and made his last start on Oct. 28, 2016 in his Breeders Crown, cutting the pace then getting caught by three-quarters of a length by his successor to Harness Horse of the Year, Always B Miki.

His lifetime earnings currently stand at $3,907,557, and he took his present mark of 1:47.2 on July 9 of his 4-year-old year, winning the Graduate final.

Clyde Francis continues to train the champion in the George Teague Jr. stable, who are of course the backing force behind FFA pacing power Lather Up.
