Top 10 poll returns May 29; Fan Poll to debut

The 2018 Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll will debut Tuesday and continue every week through the stakes season. And for the first time, fans also will get to participate on selected weeks.

Fans will have the opportunity to submit their own Top 10 polls on the weeks following the North America Cup, Meadowlands Pace, Hambletonian Day, Kentucky Futurity Day, and the Breeders Crown.

A total of 35 submissions will be selected each of those weeks and points will be tabulated in the same manner as the Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll. The Fan Poll results will be announced on the Wednesday of the selected weeks.

Additional details will be announced the week prior to the first Fan Poll, which will be released June 20.
