Beau Jangles New No. 1 In Harness Racing Poll
Canadian-campaigned Beau Jangles, who won the Breeders Crown final for two-year-old male pacers in a stakes, track and Canadian record 1:48.3 at Woodbine Mohawk Park to cap off a 12-for-12 campaign, jumped to No. 1 in the Week 20 edition of the Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll released on Wednesday, Oct. 29.
Beau Jangles, the richest horse in harness racing this season, received 24 of 35 first-place votes. The Ian Moore trainee was ranked No. 3 a week ago.
Yo Tillie, who won the Breeders Crown final for three-year-old female trotters, moved from fourth to second in the rankings and received six first-place votes. Louprint, the previous No.1, dropped to third after his eighth-place finish in the Breeders Crown final for three-year-old male pacers, but retained five first-place votes.
Rounding out the top five were Breeders Crown winners Miki And Minnie (in a dead heat) and Loua Dipa, who moved up from seventh and eighth, respectively.
Twin B Joe Fresh, who was scratched from her Breeders Crown final, was No. 6 and followed by Breeders Crown Open Pace winner Ervin Hanover. Lexus Kody, Emoticon Legacy and Super Chapter, who were third, seventh and second in their respective Breeders Crown finals, completed the Top 10.
Sylvia Hanover dropped out of the Top 10.
The Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll, which will continue weekly on Wednesdays through the Grand Circuit season, does not determine year-end awards. The members of the U.S. Harness Writers Association vote on all Dan Patch Award division winners plus U.S. 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.
