Saturday, September 13, 2014 Will It Be Father Patrick (Left) Or Trixton Saturday, September 13, 2014 It's the Battle of the Takter Titans, Round III and I want to win because it is my duty as a driver,” he By Bill Finley said. “I like to win races; it's exciting, a helluva of thrill. It's So far it's been a draw between the two best 3-year-old much more of a thrill winning as a driver than standing on trotters in North America. Father Patrick beat Trixton in the the side as a trainer. But I love both horses; both are Stanley Dancer. Trixton beat Father Patrick in the fantastic, good horses." Hambletonian. But neither race was a definitive contest as While Takter doesn't see how, all things being equal, Trixton had a tough trip in the Dancer and Father Patrick Trixton can beat Father Patrick at this point in their careers lost all chance when breaking stride at the start of the he said that could change next year. Hambletonian. "When you ask me the question which one is the better Tonight will be the rubber match as the two stars out of of the two I always say Father Patrick, but I'm not sure I'll the Jimmy Takter stable will meet in $682,000 Canadian be saying that next year," he said. "Trixton has been Trotting Classic, the feature race on a spectacular card at catching up with Father Patrick since he was a 2 year old. Mohawk. He raced just a few times at two. It's a catch-up game and it's tough to do what he’s done, going from non-winners of one and two to winning the Hambletonian in one season. That's quite an achievement." Only seven have entered the race. Father Patrick, who will be driven by Yannick Gingras, has post six and Trixton drew the five. As is usually the case when a track offers several stakes races, Takter's strength is spread across the card. Will it be Father Patrick (left) or Trixton (right) in the CTC? He's got an excellent chance of picking up stakes wins with Some handicappers may be scratching their heads when full siblings. By Donato Hanover out of Solveig, Uncle deciding how to play the race but Takter doesn't think this Lasse (continued page 2) race is tough to decipher at all. When asked who will win he replied with two words, "Father Patrick." "Why shouldn't he beat Trixton?" Takter said. "Father Patrick had one defeat when he was sick (in the Tompkins Geers) and the other one was just a mishap. Things like that can happen with any horse. Over the 32 years I have been here, there have been three truly great trotters, Mack Lobell, Muscle Hill and Father Patrick. I don't put Moni Maker in there because she's a filly. Moni Maker became a super star because of how long she lasted." Takter has felt that way all along about Father Patrick, all but guaranteeing that he would win the Hambletonian. Instead, he broke stride, but Takter was so stocked for the race that he finished one-two with Trixton leading stablemate Nuncio across the wire. Takter also drives Trixton. The two have not met since and it can be argued that Father Patrick needs this one more than Trixton does. It's the best way for him to put the Hambletonian behind him and emphatically prove that he is the better of the two. Takter said he won't necessarily be rooting either way. "I am going to participate in the race myself as a driver In yesterday’s edition of HRU it was reported that I Luv The Nitelife was sold to Diamond Creek Farm for $300,000.

Two races later his big sister, 3-year-old filly Shake It Cerry, will tackle 10 others in the $409,000 Elegantimage. The dam, Solveig, was named for Takter's mother. Shake It Cerry is named for his sister. Uncle Lasse is named in honor of Takter's wife Christina's brother-in-law, who passed away two years ago at the age of 56. "I think Solveig is the best broodmare in the sport," Takter said. "It's quite a thrill to name a horse after your mother and have it turn out to be so special. Uncle Lasse is a very big colt. He's not very heavy horse but has longest legs you've ever seen. He's like a 15 year old kid that hasn't grown into his body yet. But he is a very gifted horse."
