East Rutherford, NJ -After winning two starts back in Harrah’s Philadelphia, and in the most recent, the Meadowlands, on wire-to-wire mode, some may have thought that Christopher Dance N (Dear Lou) was a one -dimensional type of harness racing artist.
Saturday evening in the Big M, in the $ 17,500, contained the high -quality conditioned pace, the trainee of Jeff Cullipher showed a new weapon in his arsenal when he raised his winning series to three. The first mapped North American line of the Australian Import came in a Meadowlands qualification match on 1 August and after he had gone into his Pari-Mutuel debut in the United States, it has since been nothing but strawberries and room.
In the beginning the Caveman was a shoot to the top: 26.4 before 5-1 second choice South Beach Star took the point. Director George Napolitano Jr. The leader kept rolling and hit half: 54.3, as 1-9 public choice Christopher Dance N the five-hole leave in search of a live sleep.
That would come in the form of Camara Moment, which was flushed by the final winner from the three-hole when South Beach Star reached three-quarters in 1: 22.2. South Beach Star was free from the distant turn and was a game for the thread, but could not handle Christopher Dance N, who tipped the coverage and easily racing along the field in the three path through the piece to score the pace. Winning driver Johnathan Ahle had very little to do in the bike that the thread is approaching for a second straight large M -score.

The winning margin was 1¼ lengths in a mile that was timed in a lifelong 1: 49.3. South Beach Star Overbeels Camara-moment in the race for place.
“I assumed that I would come from the pace,” said Ahle. “He can do it anyway. We have a perfect second over-over trip. It worked well. It was good to follow a helmet. He is a really nice horse and I was not surprised that he won again.”
Christopher Dance N, a 5-year-old son of Sweet Lou-Just Dance, returned $ 2.20 to win while he raised his lifelong statistics to eight victories of only 16 lifetime starts, good for the win of $ 163,225 for owner Pollack Racing.
Record breaker: Shane Tritton was by far the big cheese of the Trainer Colony and this year became the first conditioner to win four races on a Meadowlands card.
History maker: Shane’s wife, Lauren, still had a historic night on the races. On August 23, she became the first female driver in history who won three races on a Meadowlands program. Saturday night Lauren raised that bar by driving four to Victory Lane, three of them trained by her husband.
Transfer crazy: No winning tickets were sold at the 20-cent Pick-6, which created a transfer of $ 3,727 for Friday’s card.
Moreover, nobody had a ticket that read 4-9-3-2-7 on the 14one Race 10-cent Hi-5 (Pentafecta), which means that Wager will have a transfer of $ 18,290 on the way to Friday’s final.
A little more: All-source handle on the 14-race program was $ 2,207,197. … Racing will resume on Friday at 6.20 pm and marks the last weekend of live harness campaign. The Thoroughbred Turf Meeting “Monmouth at the Meadowlands” then takes the big M for four weeks before Harness returns on October 18.
