The colt was not eligible to last weekend’s Hambletonian prep, the $300,000 Dr. Harry M. Zweig Memorial at Vernon Downs, which was won by Bar Hopping. “This was the plan all along,” said Burke, who is among Southwind Frank’s owners as part of the Southwind Frank Partners. “I didn’t want to race (in the Zweig) and then have the week off; I’d rather race him the week before (the Ham- bletonian). And I didn’t want to race him both weeks. “Plus (the Reynolds) is another Meadowlands race and not a ship. I want to give him the best opportunity to be as good as he can be on Aug. 6.” Southwind Frank, a son of 2009 Hambletonian winner Muscle Hill out of the mare Flawless Lindy, gives Burke a top Hambletonian contender for the second consecutive year. Last year he sent out the filly Mission Brief, who battled back issues before challenging the boys in the Ham- bletonian. She won her elimination and finished second to Pinkman in the final. “Compared to last year with Mission Brief when we were still putting together the pieces at this point, I think everything is coming together and hopefully we’ll get through this week good, be sharp, and get a good draw (for the Hambletonian) and march on,” Burke said. “He could race the way he was (prior to his equipment changes) but we want to have him as sharp as we possibly can. That’s the whole goal. His best is good enough. We just have to have him at his best.” (HRC) HarnessRacing Weekend Preview, 13 of 20 July 29, 2016 www.harnessracing.com

Cane Run Farm’s Elizabeth Caldwell visited with Propulsion and Daniel Tamla Celeber’s Muscle Hill Reden before this year’s Elitlopp. Colt Brings $311,000 A Muscle Hill colt out of the Breeders Crown Mare Trot champion Tamla Celeber S set a Swedish record price at the sale of horseman Lufti Kolgjini, best known to the North American trotting scene as the trainer-driver of Revenue, on Monday night, July 25. The colt named Fortantone AM, a May 19 foal, was sold for 2.7 million Swedish krona (SEK), or approximately $311,000, to trainer Roger Walmann, who was acting as agent for Lennart Agren.

On Track Piraten couldn’t sustain his bid and started to fade, giving Kihlstrom the opening he needed. Propulsion won by one-half length over Mosaique Face. “I’m pretty damn impressed how he accelerated,” Reden told Swedish trotting publication Trav Ronden. Propulsion has earned approximately $365,000 this year with five wins in seven starts. He finished third in an elimination heat for the Elitlopp and was fifth in the final.
