  • Memorable Moments in Breeders Crown History Total Dominance (Or: "Twin Peaks") 2004-2005 Brian Sears and Ron Pierce
    Memorable Moments in Breeders Crown History Total Dominance (Or: "Twin Peaks") 2004-2005 Brian Sears and Ron Pierce. Four wins each for both years. They combine to win 46% of every Breeders Crown dollar distributed. $5,695,248. The highest % that they possibly could have won was 71%. 2005 alone was 48.5%. Campbell's Streak John won a Breeders Crown raced in each of the 15 seasons-from 1984-1998. In 1999-he was 11 0-3-2 and still led in earnings that year! 770g! That winning streak stands as the Breeders Crown all-time best. Record Breaking Year, But...... Rocknroll Hanover became the first two year old to win in sub 1:50 in the 2004 Metro-1:49.4 But, he was scratched from the Breeders Crown that year. That scratch, coupled with Village Jolts' victory, likely went into Ron Pierce's 2005 decision to take Village Jolt over Rocknroll Hanover when offered the choice. He opted off Rocknroll Hanover, Sears drove for the entire season and he was the easy choice for that year’s best -HOY. Gone-But Far From Forgotten Windsongs Legacy, 2004 Triple Crown winner, passed away 3/1/08 at age 7-younger than any Triple Crown winner ever. But his presence was felt-and is felt-much later when his son Chapter Seven won Back To Back Breeders Crowns in 2011-2012 and was named Horse Of The Year in 2012. Chapter Seven had a pair of Freshman Breeders Crown winners last year-Woodside Charm and Gimpanzee. Oh So Close (To $3 Million Career) Donato Hanover finished his career $1,223 away from $3 Million lifetime.

    FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2016 ©2016 HORSEMAN PUBLISHING CO., LEXINGTON, KY USA • FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION CALL (859) 276-4026 Attorney Taylor Addresses Drug Rumors Harnessracing.com has received correspondence from attor- ney Howard Taylor, also a Standardbred owner, regarding a report published Thursday on Harnesslink.com regarding al- leged positive tests incurred by trainers Ron Burke and Julie Miller in New York. While Taylor did not identify any trainer by name, he said he has been retained by several trainers whose horses recently had positive tests in New York. In New York, as is the case in most jurisdictions, when a horse tests positive, the trainer of the horse is notified and the judges/stewards schedule a hearing. The judges/stew- ards do not issue a ruling or penalty until after the hearing. “At this time, the (New York Gaming) Commission cannot con- firm or deny any positive tests,” said Lee Park, a spokesman for the commission. Here is the text of Taylor’s correspondence to harnessrac- ing.com: “In order to dispel the rumor regarding a recent rash of positive tests in New York State for the compound Glaucine, I have been asked to clarify this situation. “I have been retained by several trainers who have horses in their care which have tested positive for a compound identified as Glaucine. We are currently cooperating with the New York Gaming Commission to investigate several potential sources of possible contamination and have found several common links between the parties charged. “Glaucine is an alkaloid naturally present in several plant species. In 2012 there were Glaucine positives in several states.
