Svanstedt supplements two to Crown

Cranbury, NJ — Trotting mares Call Me Goo (Googoo Gaagaa-Callmemza) and Nelsonbriteagle NO (Bold Eagle-Lindy’s Holiday), both from the stable of trainer Ake Svanstedt, have been supplemented to the upcoming Breeders Crown at The Meadowlands. The deadline for supplemental entries was noon Monday. No other harness racing horses were supplemented.

The cost to supplement for each mare was $48,000. The one-time supplemental payment also makes the horses eligible to all future Breeders Crown events under the normal schedule of payments.

Any necessary eliminations for horses ages 3 and older, including the Breeders Crown Mare Trot, will be contested Saturday night, Oct. 19, at The Big M. First-race post time is 6:20 p.m. (EDT). Any necessary eliminations for 2-year-olds will be held Friday afternoon, Oct. 18, at The Meadowlands. First-race post time Friday is 12:30 p.m. (EDT).

The entry box for all horses eligible to the Breeders Crown closes at 9 a.m. (EDT) Tuesday, Oct. 15.

Call Me Goo, a 4-year-old mare, has hit the board in 31 of 35 career races, winning 22 and earning $688,518.

This season, she has six victories and three seconds in 12 starts. She enters the Breeders Crown off a 1:51.4 triumph in the Allerage Farms Mare Trot on Oct. 6 at Lexington’s Red Mile, where she defeated Nelsonbriteagle NO by a neck. She also captured the Armbro Flight Stakes in a career-best 1:51.2 in June at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
