After an easy Based on what happened on an otherwise sleepy win in January at Dover, Wiggle It reappeared in the Monday evening earlier this week at Harrington Raceway Sonsam Series at the Meadowlands, a 3-year-old taking on those are legitimate questions. Maybe he'll come crashing older horses. He won that race in 1:49.4 and has never down to earth when he faces better competition. Or maybe slowed down.

At the very least, the possibilities are wonderfully exciting. The funny thing about Wiggle It Jiggleit is that he's never competed for a big purse or faced a good horse. But, in this case, that doesn't seem to matter. What he has done has been so special that it's almost impossible to imagine that he could be a fluke. The latest chapter occurred Monday at Harrington, and it was the most sensational one yet. Owner George Teague Jr. snuck his homebred by Mr. Wiggles into an $11,000 overnight race at Harrington. Considering the level of competition, it amounted to a training mile, not at all the type of spot where he could have been expected to enter the record books. But he did. Winning by 14 1/4 lengths, he paced in 1:49, the fastest mile ever by a 3-year-old on a half-mile track. And he did so with driver Montrell Teague, George's son, sitting like a statue in the sulky.

"I've seen a lot of great horses race, but I've never seen a horse do what he did the other day. I've never seen a horse that has the bit full up in his mouth ever time he races and every time he crosses the wire." Though the purse was a mere $11,000, Teague said Monday's win was one of the highlights of his career. Ontario Sires Stakes 2015 SCHEDULE A tradition of excellence.
