Thursday's mammoth session of qualifiers at the Meadowlands featured 16 dashes, with one of the winners boasting an award-winning pedigree

that's quite familiar to fans of Canadian harness racing.

Global Desire (Yankee Glide - Cressida Hanover) is the first full sibling to 2006 Triple Crown winner and U.S Horse of the Year Glidemaster, and she earned herself a time of 2:03.1 with a snappy :27.4 quarter on the end of the mile.

The Brittany Farms-owned homebred is trained by Jimmy Takter and was driven to victory by Ron Pierce.

Ray Schnittker guided Musclelaneous to a 2:00.3 qualifying win, the fastest on the trot, for the Musclelaneous Stable. The full brother to Grand Circuit winner No Pain No Gain (Muscles Yankee - Spendthrift) was a $130,000 yearling purchase bred and raised by Perretti Farms.

Uncorking a :55.3 final quarter, So Over is now the co-fastest two-year-old pacer in North America by virtue of his 1:55.3 qualifying win in his debut. Yannick Gingras was in the bike for trainer George Teague, who purchased So Over (Artiscape - Jated Love) for $52,000 at Harrisburg in partnership with Elmer Fannin's Fannin Racing LLC. So Over shares the mark with Mystic Desire, (Real Desire - Canned Festival) who qualified on Wednesday at Balmoral Park in an identical time for trainer Shawn Nessa and driver Dave Magee.

Angie Nessa and Jerry Stepter of Illinois own Mystic Desire, who was a $15,000 Lexington yearling purchase from breeders Pedigree Farm (Robert Burgess) and Karin Olsson Burgess.
