  <content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--StartFragment--><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Favorite Handicapping Angles</span></u></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; ">I’ll be the first to admit
the first half of the 2013 meet at the Meadowlands was indeed a challenge to
sift through and solve as a handicapper. 
In particular, the start of season presented many interesting puzzles and
mysteries due to the sheer volume of shippers, and how they were classified
under the revised A B C system.  Still,
as we continued to evolve in our approach, and considered weather conditions
and pace scenarios, some tried and true angles flushed out live horses and produced
their share of winners, especially when things settled down.  We often tried to beat the favorite, couldn’t
do it, and had to settle for the exacta box. 
On the flip side, just when we thought we were going to get some value
on our top selection, the price was hammered down.  When there was a standout, it was fun
figuring out who to play underneath.  Many
times multiple angles overlapped and applied to the same horse.  The following examples are a few of our
modest successes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Acclimating Mile</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – Once horses have a trip over the track and/or a
start after a layoff, we can gain a better gauge on their true form.  On January 4, The Evictor had rallied stoutly
from far back in his first start over the track.  He also showed raging form against tougher company
elsewhere and switched to Corey Callahan. 
The Evictor roared home to a career best of 1:53.4 to pay $7.40.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Positive Trend</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – On January 17, Cruise Queen had picked up her game on Lasix and had a
needed start at the Big M.  The winner of
eight of 24 career starts was also one of many new acquisitions for leading
trainer Ron Burke this meet.  The
daughter of Artiscape brushed and crushed them from post eight, and took a new mark
of 1:52.4 and paid $8.80.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Closer on the Verge</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – Stone closer Clear View Hanover had three starts
under her and was getting a slight class drop going into her January 25
race.  Her latest effort was an improved
second with a driver change to Simon Allard. 
Simon now had a better idea of what this mare was all about and got her
into a perfect second over striking position to nail the favorite in 1:53.3 to
pay $10.00.  </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Class Drop in a So-So Field</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – Dash For The Cash appeared to be a relatively
consistent trotter for brothers John and Jim Campbell, and was coming off two decent
miles at the B-2 level on January 31.  He
dropped to face an uninspiring C-1 field, steamrolled first over from post
eight and paid $8.60.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Burke Overlay</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – Trainer Ron Burke blanketed cards with fresh faces early in the meet
and Oil Magnet made an immediate impression. 
The 9YO Western Hanover gelding was making his Big M debut on February 2
after going three-for-three since the Burke acquisition at The Meadows.  Oil Magnet cruised to a career best of 1:51.3
and paid $8.40.  The pacer went on to
sweep the Winter Survivor Series.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Cycling Forward for Team Allard</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – On February 9, No Bu was an excellent candidate to
upset the favorite Perrito Caliente. 
Acquired by Rene Allard in late Fall of 2012, he was a closer who showed
form that was gradually cycling forward. 
His last two final quarters were an improved :26 and change.  He kicked home in :26.1 to upset in a career
best of 1:51.2 and paid $8.40.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Second Start off the Bench</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – Vaporstar only won once this meet and that lone
tally came in his second start for strong percentage trainer Rob Harmon.  The four-year-old banked $100,000 in Illinois
in 2012 and finished solidly in his first tour of the oval.  On February 15, he went wire-to-wire in
1:55.2 and paid $9.00.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Strong Back Half off a Modest Pace</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – It took Dream’s Bar a few starts at the Big M and
the right scenario to see her late move pay off.  On February 15, she was coming off a sterling
rally to hit the board off a modest pace and stormed home to for Eric Carlson
to win by a nose in 1:54 to pay $10.40. 
Dream’s Bar did virtually the same thing in her next start to repeat and
pay $10.00.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Drop Back to Winning Level</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – Photo King had shown positive hints, including a
sharp win two starts back at the A-2 level. 
After a mile in which he was shuffled from the rail in a slightly
tougher A-2/A-1 Handicap, the son of S J’s Photo returned against an evenly
matched A-2 group on February 22.  He
rallied to score in 1:55 and paid $18.80.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Class Drop off a No-Chance Mile</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – Zumba Mouse is a trotting mare noted for her big
finishes, and on March 1 she was coming off an impossible trip from post 10 at
the B-2 level.  She had won just before
that in only her second start after a long layoff.  With the drop to the C-1 level and a
perfectly timed move by Marcus Miller “The Mouse” pounced to equal her lifetime
mark of 1:55 and paid $9.00.  Then, she
repeated back up at the B-2 level for a $13.20 payoff.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Class Relief &amp; Driver Change Combo</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – Going into his race on March 2, Southern Sport had
his share of tough trips, he was dropping down to the level of a recent win and
picked up Tim Tetrick.  As usual, Rob
Harmon had his trainee on his toes and Southern Sport flashed :27 speed on both
ends in a 1:51.2 mile and paid $13.20.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Sudden Speed &amp; Class Drop</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – Westside Lindy had gotten his act in gear showing
sudden speed in his last two starts noted trotting man Walter Carroll.  On March 22, the son of SJ’s Caviar dropped
from B-2 to C-1, was given a slick drive by Eric Goodell and paid $9.20.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Sudden Speed &amp; Back Class</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – Arctic Fire had dropped down in class and revived
her form with sudden speed at Harrah’s Philadelphia.  On April 5 at the Big M, she faced a camera-shy
group of mares at the B-2 level for owner/trainer Noel Daley, Andrew McCarthy
drove her superbly and she zipped home in :26.3 to win a blanket photo and paid
$13.40. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Sudden Speed in a Question Mark Field</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – On April 19, Bambino Hall was returning to the Big
M after three races elsewhere, his latest a sudden display of speed at Pocono
Downs.  Team Allard had him well placed
in a so-so B-2 field, and with a perfect second over trip he was able to employ
his preferred closing style in a 1:53.2 career best and paid $9.20. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Parked Out &amp; Didn’t Fade Much</span></u></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; "> – Multiple angles applied to Alex Bullville on April
20.  The steady son of Bettor’s Delight
was coming off a parked out trip and lost by less than two lengths.  He had been knocking on the door, drew an
improved post and switched to Corey Callahan. 
Alex Bullville stormed home in a career best of 1:50.4 and paid $10.00.</span></p>

  <content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--StartFragment--><p><strong><u><span>2013 Season First Half Highlights</span></u></strong> </p>
<p><span> </span> </p>
<p><span>The 2013 season at the
Meadowlands Racetrack started with a bang on the racing and wagering front with
the successful implementation of the A-B-C classification system, the addition
of a second Pick 4, big money guarantees, and full and competitive fields, wide-open
betting boards, and positive news with a state-of-the-art grandstand on the rise.</span> </p>
<p><span> </span> </p>
<p><span>Plus, Yannick Gingras
leading the world’s best driving colony, teamed with Ron Burke, the sport’s top
trainer, along with the traditional array of fierce Winter Series action, a
steady line-up of nightly promotions, and small wonder $3 million handles have
become the norm.</span> </p>
<p><span> </span> </p>
<p><span>Once again, the big story
headlines in January were produced by the amazing Golden Receiver.  The 8-year-old son of Village Jove, and pride
of breeder/owner Nina Simmonds, made it back-to-back Presidential Series sweeps.  Tim Tetrick drove for trainer Mark Harder,
who enjoyed a strong first half of the meet. 
The Golden One looked better than ever in a 1:49.3 final, and gears up
for another run at the Summer’s free for all slugfests.  Harder also won the Charles Singer Memorial
Final with Real Babe.</span> </p>
<p><span> </span> </p>
<p><span>One of the other highlights
of January was a rags-to-riches pacer who swept the Clyde Hirt Series.  Holdingallthecards, a son of Cam’s Card Shark
purchased for a bit more $1,000 by Wisconsin road contruction worker Bill
McIntyre, took a mark of 1:50.3 in the second leg, then dominated the final in
1:51.1 for Tim Tetrick and trainer Scott Di Domenico.</span> </p>
<p><span> </span> </p>
<p><span>Andy Miller, a strong third
in the standings, won three Winter Series finals, and two from post 10.  The first came when Windsun Galliano set a
stakes record of 1:53.4 in the Super Bowl for his wife, trainer Julie
Miller.  Andy swept the Junior
Trendsetter with Meadowlands Pace hopeful Resistance Futile, a Real Desire colt
that Bob Siegelman looked after for Blair Burgess.  Resistance Futile was impressive with a
1:51.3 romp and a final quarter of :26.2.  Andy also captured the Exit 16W Final with Mr Dennis in 1:52.3 for trainer Nick Surick, who was tied for third going into the Championship Meet.</span></p>
<p><span> </span> </p>
<p><span>The
dominant duo of Yannick Gingras and Ron Burke came through with a trio of
finals.  Oil Magnet swept the Winter
Survivor, one of several new acquisitions for Team Burke.  The Western Hanover nine-year-old ran his
winning streak to seven in that final beating stablemate Boiler Bob The QB.  Escape The News scored back-to-back battles
with Warrawee Needy in 1:48.4 and 1:49.3 to take the Aquarius.  And on the trotting side, Quick Deal was
eye-catching in the frigid conditions of the Horse &amp; Groom Series with
miles of 1:52.1 and 1:52.4 in that final. 
On February 16, Yannick Gingras won seven races, one shy of the record
set by Mike Lachance in 1995.</span> </p>

<p><span>As Spring finally sprang,
and with Yannick Gingras and Tim Tetrick spending their weekends in New York,
the sport’s leading driver really turned up the heat at the Big M, and Corey
Callahan grandslams were commonplace.  The
top gun in Delaware for the fourth straight season captured the Rags to Riches
Final with Cane Ridge in a speedy 1:50, a mile that featured a dazzling :52.4
half.</span> </p>
<p><strong><span> </span></strong> </p>
<p><span>The Meadowlands stellar driving
colony also featured the rising star of 19-year-old Joe Bongiorno, the stalwart
Hall of Fame bound Dave Miller holding down second in the standings, the firmly
established presence of Simon Allard, who won both finals of the Gina Giant and
Night Styles, and the vintage Hall of Famers John Campbell and Ron Pierce.</span> </p>
<p><span> </span> </p>
<p><span>The 2013 Championship Meet
once again features outdoor activities added to the menu of fan-friendly
promotions, like the popular Friday Night Winners at the Wedge, Bands Brews
&amp; BBQ, Jersey Fest, Camel &amp; Ostrich Racing and the Summer Beer
Festival.  Plus, with major stakes events
like the Meadowlands Pace and the Hambletonian, the Meadowlands Racetrack
continues to be a leader in world class racing, great betting races and family
entertainment. </span> </p>

  <content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--StartFragment--><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; ">There were six new members of the Sub 1:48 Club in
2012:  Panther Hanover, Hurrikane
Kingcole, Put On A Show (only female), Bolt The Duer, Sweet Lou and Thinking
Out Loud.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; ">Despite the continuous evolution of speed in
harness racing, the sub 1:48 club remains a relatively exclusive list, mostly
of those pacers who definitely earned their respective speed marks.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; ">It’s an interesting collection of the sport’s
fastest performers of all-time, and each one with their own story, creating
their very own dramatic moment when they stopped the teletimer with an
eye-popping number.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; ">There have been 40 sub 1:48 miles, and of the 33
members of the club, seven have accomplished the feat twice:  Somebeachsomewhere, We Will See, Art
Official, Won The West, Lis Mara, Holborn Hanover and Real Joke.  The first three of those seven did it as
sophomores.  In fact, more than a third
(14) in this special group took their sub 1:48 marks as a three-year-old.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; ">Although there are only two time trials on the
list, Cambest continues to rank number one for his 1:46.1 mile at Springfield,
Illinois.  It’s also the oldest sub 1:48
mile, coming back in 1993 off fractions of :26.1, :51.4 and 1:19 with Hall of
Famer William O’Donnell.  Jereme’s Jet
reeled off his 1:47 time trial in the Fall of 2007 at The Red Mile and remains
the fastest mile of John Campbell’s illustrious career.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; "> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in; ">Jim Morrill, Jr. guided two in
the top six, Holborn Hanover, the longest shot in Meadowlands Pace history, who
came back at age four to win the US Pacing Championship in 1:46.4.  Then,
Morrill drove the recently retired Won The West to the fastest Breeders Crown
mile ever at 1:47 in 2009.  Morrill also put a mark of 1:47.4 on
Shadyshark Hanover in the 2011 Oliver Wendell Holmes.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in; ">Somebeachsomewhere’s 1:46.4
race mile in Lexington came a few months after his gallant defeat at the hands
of Art Official in the 1:47 world record Meadowlands Pace in 2008, one of the
greatest races of all-time.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in; ">We Will See’s pair of 1:47.2
and 1:47.4 in 2011 with Ron Pierce came in his $1.2 million four-year-old
season when he was beaten out for the division title by Foiled Again, whose
mark of 1:48.1 leaves him an outsider here. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in; ">Hypnotic Blue Chip paced the
fastest mile of 2011, 1:47.2 in the US Pacing Championship, one of two 1:47.2
trips in Jody Jamieson’s career, and one of 26 sub 1:48 miles recorded at The
Meadowlands.  Jamieson’s other 1:47.2 sparkler came with the oldest member
of this crew, the nine-year-old Primetime Bobcat, who stunned onlookers on a
53-degree night at Woodbine back in 2006.  That is still the all-age track
record at Woodbine.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in; ">Bettor Sweet was another who
took his mark of 1:47.2 at age four at The Big M, just won his second straight
Breeders Crown and is closing in on $3 million.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in; ">Sometimes you get lucky and set
up by hot fractions, like Hurrikane Kingcole’s record 1:18.2 three quarters,
and the lightly-raced Panther Hanover with Sylvain Filion pounced in 1:47.2 to
win the 2012 New Jersey Classic in only his tenth career start.  Hurrikane Kingcole had previously romped in
the Pace Consolation in 1:47.3 in rein to Yannick Gingras.</span></p>

Fahy sat a perfect trip behind Riyadh and the result was a 1:47.3
before-its-time clocking back in 1996.</span></p>

tripped out behind Western Ideal in 2000 to win in 1:47.4, one of many in the

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in; ">Lis Mara and Brian Sears came
charging off stunning fractions of :25.2, :52.2 and 1:20.2 enroute to a 1:47.3
Breeders Crown triumph in 2006.</span></p>

Well Said and Ron Pierce simply dominated the 2008 Meadowlands Pace in a 1:47.3
blowout.  Rocknroll Heaven did the same in his 2010 Pace elimination, yet
had to settle for second to One More Laugh in a 1:47.4 final.</span></p>
