Little change in this week’s Poll

Freehold, NJ — Heading into this weekend’s Breeders Crown harness racing extravaganza at the Meadowlands, there was little change in the Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll. The top six positions were unchanged, with Wiggle It Jiggleit remaining at the head of the class.

Pure Country made a move from No. 9 to seventh with her Breeders Crown elimination win and Lady Shadow joined the rankings at No. 10.

Wiggle It Jiggleit, Betting Line, Resolve, and Hannelore Hanover did not race last week.

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.
