But tonight Timmy and I talked about it ahead of time. We decided it was our race By Bill Finley to win or lose, so Timmy said we've got to make something EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ--Captaintreacherous crushed happen. So he took a shot." his foes in the Meadowlands Pace in another superb Tetrick drove a masterful race. He went just fast enough performance from the sport's biggest star, but that was far that no one was willing to take him on and just slow from the only news on a big night at the Meadowlands. Bee enough that he left something in reserve for the stretch. A Magician set a world record in the Captaintreacherous hit the three-quarters in a relatively Del Miller, Pet Rock beat a stellar comfortable 1:21, and from there there was no catching field in the William Haughton and him. Smilin Eli, the morning line favorite "The first quarter I knew I had a lot of horse," Tetrick in the Stanley Dancer was scratched said. "Whenever my horse sees somebody he'll go. Luckily by the judges due to an investigation tonight, he didn't have to do that. I asked him at the top of into who actually trains the the lane and he took off for me. He's been good all year, 3-year-old trotter. (See page 3 for he keeps getting the job done and I'm so happy that he the Smilin Eli story) does."

Photo) You couldn't come to any other conclusion after he beat up on his rivals in the Meadowlands Pace, adding a win in the big event at the East Rutherford oval to a resume that also includes victory in the North America Cup. Perhaps the only knock on him thus far this year was that he was winning without dominating. He always got to the wire first, but often by heads and necks. That wasn't the case last night as he won the Meadowlands Pace by 3 1/4 lengths over Odds On Equuleus in the time of 1:48.1. "People have doubted him because he never won by a lot of lengths and had close finishes," said Myron Bell, the racing manager for the ownership group. "This dispelled all doubt tonight." Coming into the race Captaintreacherous had been biding his time getting to the lead. In the Hempt Final at Pocono he didn't hit the front until the shadow of the wire. But on this night Tim Tetrick drove him much more aggressively. Rockin Amadeus left hard from the 10 post and had the lead heading into the first turn, but Tetrick pounced. Captaintreacherous had the lead before the first quarter, which went in 27. "I think the horse has always been able to get out of there, we just never really used him that way," winning trainer Tony Alagna said. "He always showed he could pace put of there if he needed to but we've never had to do that this year.

  • ON the COVER... This Year’S Stallion Register Cover Salutes White Birch Farm in Allentown, NJ and Its Founder, Joseph S
    Dear SBOANJ Members: We are happy to once again publish the New Jersey Stallion Register and provide you with a comprehensive guide to the standardbred industry in this state. Within the pages of this book we celebrate the accomplish- ments of our racing and breeding stars and the people who make it possible for New Jersey to continue to produce some of the best harness racing in the world. While the spotlight in this book is on the stallions who will stand in New Jersey in 2009, we also salute the progeny of the program who were the stars of the 2008 racing season. Two New Jersey-sired sons of Muscles Yankee -- two-year-old Muscle Hill and three-year-old Deweychea- tumnhowe -- were named 2008 divisional champions, receiving Dan Patch Awards from the United States Harness Writers Association. In 2008, on the recommendation of the SBOANJ, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture honored Ham- bletonian winner Deweycheatumnhowe as Horse of the Year and Fair Winds Farm as Breeder of the Year. Established in 1961 with a handful of people, the SBOANJ is comprised of horse breeders, drivers, trainers, owners, and backstretch personnel, active and interested in the standardbred horse industry in the State of New Jersey. The SBOANJ’s mission is to support, promote and preserve a favorable business climate, while striving to secure closer business and personal relationships among all industry participants throughout the State. The SBOANJ is governed by a Board of Directors elected by the general membership. The Board authorizes stallion and mare registrations, negotiates with track managements, actively oversees and administers a benefits program, and advances legislation favorable to the New Jersey standardbred industry.
