Freehold, NJ — There were no changes to the order of the Top 10 in this week's harness racing Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll, but leader Always B Miki added an additional first place vote and extended his lead over runner-up Wiggle It Jiggleit from 26 points to 34.
The only horse in the Top 10 that raced this past week was 2-year-old male trotter Walner, who captured the Kindergarten Series final at Meadowlands Racetrack. He remains in the No. 9 spot in the poll.
The Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll does not determine Horse of the Year. The U.S. Harness Writers Association votes in December on all division winners plus Trotter of the Year, Pacer of the Year and Horse of the Year.
Rankings based on the votes of harness racing media representatives on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.
