Artspeak won his New Jersey Sires Stakes final with au- thority for Ontario native Scott Zeron. “He did it all on his own,” said Zeron of the colt’s three-length victory in 1:48.4. NA Cup eligibles In The Arsenal and Betting Exchange, who finished on the wire together in the $300,000 Art Rooney Pace on May 30, are also sitting out the week but trips to the North America Cup are on their agendas. Two notable undefeated sophomore males this season, the six-for-six Rise Up Now and the three-for-three Lost For Words— both trained by Brian Brown—are racing in Pennsylvania Sires Stakes at The Meadows this weekend since they are not eligible to the Somebeachsomewhere or the North America Cup. The nine-for-nine Wiggle It Jiggleit, an unexpected sensa- tion this season, won in Indiana Sires Stakes action on May 30 and is also getting a week off. He turned in a 1:49.3 win in a $75,000 Sires Stakes final on May 30, splashing his way to victory over the track that had suffered from heavy rain. With Wiggle It Jiggleit drawing post seven and the formi- dable Freaky Feet Pete to the outside in post nine, getting the right trip was key to keeping “Wiggle It’s” winning streak intact. When the wings of the gate folded, Montrell Teague had a clear path to the front and easily placed Wiggle It Jig- gleit on the lead while Freaky Feet Pete never saw the rail.

Now he will get the opportunity to race against world champion Father Patrick, who won the Maxie Lee Me- morial Invitational on May 24 at Harrah’s Philadelphia in his only start so far this season. “He’s been unbelievable,” trainer Eric Ell said. “We didn’t know what we had bought when we bought him. We just knew we had a young trotter that fit some cheaper classes at Dover. We just popped him in a couple of those (winter) series in case he turned out to be something, and he did. “It’s been a fun ride, that’s for sure. I’m looking forward to racing the big boys. We’re going to see if we can go with them or not.” JL Cruze’s most recent start came April 21 at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, where he won the Weiss final by a length over Opulent Yankee in 1:52.4.
