September 6, 2016,by Ken Weingartner, Harness Racing Communications
Freehold, NJ — Four-year-old male pacer Wiggle It Jiggleit strengthened his hold on the No. 1 spot in this week’s Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll, adding eight first-place votes to his total thanks to his victory in the Canadian Pacing Derby last Saturday at Mohawk.
Other winners last week in the Top 10 were No. 3 Betting Line (Ontario Sire Stakes Gold), No. 4 Marion Marauder (Yonkers Trot), No. 7 Racing Hill (Messenger Stakes), and No. 8 Pure Country (Simcoe Stakes).
The Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll does not determine Horse of the Year. The U.S. Harness Writers Association votes in December on all 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.
