Though Always A Miki, a compact colt from the first crop of Always B Miki, was outsprinted in last week’s final preliminary, the Nancy Takter-trained colt has the talent to bounce back. The once unbeaten Lou’s Pearlman proved he wasn’t invincible, going down as the chalk two starts back, but he rebounded with a solid third-place finish last Saturday afternoon at The Meadows and is one of two serious threats for trainer Burke. The other is Southwind Gendry, who won at nearly 10-1 last week, odds you may never see again from this altered son of Always B Miki. Southwind Gendry is interesting in that he’s won all three of his races when he hasn’t made a break in stride.

  • The Triple Crowns
    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.
