There were just a few (five) qualifiers on a blustery Breeders Crown Saturday morning at The Meadowlands held under sunny skies with temperatures in the mid-'30's and a considerable cross-wind.

Sebastian K came out to get some pre-TVG Final work in and he looked sharp in a 1:55 win for Ake Svanstedt. Sebastian left the gate alertly with ears pricked, then allowed Svanstedt to rate him through a kind 59.4 half with Lindys Tru Grit in close pocket attendance. The pair of trotters finished the mile out with a final quarter of 27 flat, Sebastian K held to be a comfortable three-quarters length winner over a very willing Lindys Tru Grit who closed it up a bit near the wire for Tetrick.

 
Race three saw a pair of nice three-year-old pacers zipped around the oval in 1:53.4 / 26.4 with Ontario-bred Play It Again Sam holding off early season sensation National Debt.

 
Golden Receiver looked fantastic in a 1:52.1 / 26.2 romp, leading all the way with driver Andy Miller never straightening up on him. The “Golden One” has the TVG Final next week if his connections so choose and he certainly made a case for himself this morning.

 
The Breeders Crown championship races continue at The Meadowlands this evening with first post at 7:15 p.m.
