He holds the co-fastest winning time of the year (1:47 2/5) hole into my arm that was the root of the pain but thank God there and won just the second stakes race of the year for his class.

Somehow the industry Top 10 Poll has This Is The Plan rated ahead of Nicholas Beach, perhaps on the fact that the former has earned three times as much money in 2021. I don’t understand it, but it is far from an injustice. It’s more upsetting to see Abuckabett Hanover ranked ahead of Nicholas Beach before he has won a single Grand Circuit race. I respect Abuckabett Hanover and he is arguably the best 3-year-old pacing colt in North America right now, but you don’t get close to top billing without facing a full field of the best in the sport at least once or doing something spectacular along the way. Yeah, you could argue that he did upend the formerly unbeaten Perfect Sting and that vaults him into the ranks. I guess that is fair. My eye test reveals Nicholas Beach as the top dog among pacers and at least in the conversation with Manchego in the top spot of the poll. Speaking of Manchego, one has to marvel at her ability to not only win but set records into her 6-year-old campaign. The Nancy Takter trainee set a track record when stopping the clock in 1:51 3/5 and moved her career record to 35 wins in 58 starts. She is just $230,000 from passing Hannelore Hanover and $306,000 from Moni Maker on DERICK GIWNER the all-time earnings list among trotting mares.

Regardless of his efforts at Hoosier Park in the Breeders Crown, Captain Corey’s races within Pennsyl- vania set him apart from many in this class. His debut on Monday was an effortless march down the road in an actual Sire Stakes division with Ake Svanstedt along for the ride that ended with a more than 10-length score in a 1:53 4/5 clocking. So how do we look at two colts who six months earlier had estab- lished themselves as quite close in talent off of Monday’s first efforts? While the times of the respective efforts are literally miles apart in horse terminology, it’s fair to say that neither was as good or bad as the times and margins of victory might suggest.

    The Crowns The Crowns The Trotting Triple Crown In order to win the Trotting Triple Crown, a 3-year-old must score victories in the Hambletonian, Kentucky Futurity, and Yonkers Trot. The oldest stakes is the Kentucky Futurity, which was first raced in 1893. The Hambletonian began in 1926, while the Yonkers Trot (originally called the Yonkers Futurity) was inaugurated in 1955. The nine Trotting Triple Crown winners since its inception in 1955 are profiled on this and the following pages. The Trotting Triple Crown’s trophy was designed by Lambert Brothers Jewelers, Inc., and features a trotter atop a silver and marble platform supported by three silver columns, each bearing a rectangular plaque, one each for the Yonkers Trot, Hambletonian, and Kentucky Futurity. The columns, in turn, rest on a large black marble base. The trophy’s permanent home is at Yonkers Raceway, where it is on display in the trophy case in the main dining room, the Empire Terrace. In the years when the trophy has been won, it was traditionally presented in a luncheon at the Ed Keys Hampshire House Hotel in New York City. 1955—Scott Frost (Hoot Mon-Nora) Owner: Saul A.
