OT: 20 years since Scarlet Knight win in the Hambletonian

the annual thread




great to get back to the Big M for the Hambo this Saturday. Didnt go last year with limited attendance allowed and masks so it wasnt worth it. This time, full attendance and no masks..yeah. Have only missed 2 Hambos in the last 26 years.

Going to be one of the most competitive and wide open Hambos in recent years. Captain Corey is the fave but a case can be made for at least 6 or 7 horses most notably Sonofamistery. As usual a strong undercard with the Oaks headlined by Lady Chaos and Bella Bellini. The Lady Liberty with Lyons Sentinal, John Steele with Atlanta, Cashman Memorial with the mare Manchego, Fire Start Hanover in the Shady Daisy, Perfect Sting in the Cane Pace and two divisions of the Sam McKee featuring the likes of Cattlewash and Nicholas Beach. Should be an outstanding day of racing.

Always a classic. Don't forget the invader Jujubee is on the card also.

Jujubee is up against Dancinginthedark M who was the Hambo fave coming into the elims before breaking in his elim. I look for him to jiggity jog and we could see a sub 150

Hopefully we get a good weather day for this.
