He didn’t want to do anything too crazy with him. He’s a very talented horse when he does what he’s supposed to do. Earlier in the summer, he was the fastest one out of everybody. I think he can be right there. I think it’s a very open race and if he minds his manners, I think he can be there.” • Came into the Hambletonian eliminations off a third place finish in his Reynolds division behind fellow Hambletonian finalist Venerate and a fourth place finish in a Tompkins-Geers behind Ambassador Hanover. • Locatelli’s second win of the year came against older horses at the Meadowlands on June 25th.
