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.

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, , 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.

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."

From a buyer's point HarnessRacingUpdate.com • HRU Special people were asking 'What do you have?' I got a good feeling from that." Craig Turner of Ingersoll said he believes changes to the OSS program will promote sales and is also hoping the government will make some announcements leading into the sale to further entice buyers. There have been some discussions about that this week. "I was in some meetings earlier this week where some ideas were discussed Horses from the first crop of and hopefully the Big Jim will be on the auction block Sunday at Flamboro Government can put a way to put that forward," Turner said. He also said the diminishing number of OSS horses going forward should help the industry overall by providing a better quality of stock to compete against each other. Reid said Sunday's sale offers something for everybody overall in terms of foals by proven sires and new ones. "There's a pretty broad sire line," he said. Multiple champion Sportswriter, winner of the North America Cup in 2010 following a standout freshman season, has done well with his first-year crop, so that will be one of the story lines in the sale. Preferred Equine is selling a Sportswriter colt, Sports Cowboy, out of the Canadian champion mare Moving Pictures that should draw interest. Both the sire and the dam were trained by Casie Coleman. Rothwell, a Camluck colt out of Mystic Mistress, is a full brother to Mystician (winner of more than $1.8 million, Camystic ($779,000), Luck Mistress ($616,000) and Fenman ($387,000). Mach Me Once is a colt by Mach Three out of the dam Boy Meets Girl and is a full brother to Mach Dreamer, which banked more than $800,000. The dam has also produced two other foals who won in excess of $200,000 apiece. Drysdale is excited about the offspring sired by Vintage Master, a multiple world champion who won in excess of $2 million. "I really like the look of the crop," he said. Adriano Sorella, one of the owners of last year's Little Brown Jug winner Vegas Vacation, said there are a lot of reasons for buyers to be excited about the sale. "When you look at the program, OSS is not as bad as we thought it would be," he said. "It's actually turned out pretty good because there's some certainty with a five-year plan. The problem is when the government pulled (SARP), it scared a lot of breeders - and rightfully so. Now there's going to be a shortage, but if you're a buyer and you have some money, there's some nice horses out there. You can never use the word guarantee, but you can get yourself a nice (OSS) colt or a nice filly and be racing for good money next year and the year after that. That's what interests me.

can't lose with anything in these spots; clearly the one to beat. SOUTHWIND STRYKER almost reached against a decent one three back and offered :27:2 last quarter trot in his elimination last week for trainer Maxwell; a longshot case can be made here.

STUBBORN BELLE lands the 1 Demanding Sam Donato Hanover McEneny/D Miller rail for MacDonell and Bax and will be right in behind the 2 Tosca Muscle Mass Henriksen/Henriksen top choice all the way; the obvious threat should that one 3 Riveting Rosie Muscle Mass Bax/Macdonell falter in any way. JOLENE JOLENE has turned it on for 4 Vanity Matters Explosive Matter Czernyson/S Zeron Czernyson since that second finish at long odds in the 5 Chivaree Hanover Muscle Hill G McNair/D McNair Merrie Annabelle on Hambletonian day; can make it a 6 Scream And Shout Muscles Yankee Takter/Gingras closer margin tonight as she continues to move forward. 7 Shake It Cerry Donato Hanover Takter/Pierce DANIELLE HALL was used early last week for team 8 Sweetie Hearts Angus Hall Parsons/Waples Jamieson and now moves inside; JUANITA'S FURY has 9 Heavens Door Muscle Mass Sylvester/Svanstedt some early speed if Condren wishes to use it. 10 Muscle Babe Muscle Mass Menary/J MacDonald 11 Designed To Be Donato Hanover J Miller/Filion 5th Race. $390,000, Trot.

HEAVEN'S DOOR has the front end and gets reunited with Pierce tonight as Zeron some talent for Svanstedt but this post presented her with stays loyal to Alagna and goes to GIFTED WAY. The issues two back and I fear a similar uphill battle may be Takter trainee showed two good runner-up efforts in August coming; best of the rest. VANITY MATTERS was a 1:53 to Haughton winner Centurion ATM and the winner of his winner five back for what that may be worth; SCREAM race five back was the eventual PASS champion.
