    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%.

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.
