I thought it was a real tough division, with having the outside. David did a good job; he followed a good horse and got us into the final. I thought he trotted strong right down to the wire and that’s about all we could ask of him.” • Campbell on moving on to the Hambletonian: “We haven’t raced him back-to- back very much this year, just trying to keep him fresh with having this race in mind. I think he’s coming into it on a pretty good note. He hasn’t been over-raced or anything like that. Hopefully, he has a good week. We’re in it, and that’s the first step you’ve got to take.” • Finished fourth in his Hambletonian elimination after being parked for half the mile from post eight. • Prior to the eliminations, Campbell said: “Overall, I’m pretty happy with the way he’s coming into it. He’s gone some good races for us this year. He’s got high speed. He’s got a good attitude and likes to do his work. He can race either way, toward the front or come from behind.
