He’s won both the Hambletonian and Hambletonian Oaks already. On Saturday, owner Herb Liverman has a shot at winning both again in the same afternoon.

The Montreal native is a co-owner of millionaire three-year-old male trotter Pinkman, favourite in the first elimination of the $1-million Hambletonian despite drawing post 10, and Wild Honey, morning-line favourite in the $500,000 Hambletonian Oaks for three-year-old fillies. She’ll start from post two.

Leading driver Yannick Gingras is down to drive both, although whether Gingras stays for the Hambo final likely will depend on how the fleet filly Mission Brief fares in the second elimination. He’s her regular driver as well.

“I’d rather not have the 10 but that’s the luck of the draw. I was happy with Wild Honey getting the 2 (in the Oaks), although I think the horse that was best died this morning,” Liverman said, alluding to the unfortunate passing Monday of Oaks elimination winner Spirit To Win.

Liverman, whose Hambletonian victory came with Muscles Yankee in 1998, said it was his biggest thrill in the sport. “It’s like the Kentucky Derby for trotters.”

His Oaks champion was Bee A Magician in 2013. Now a triple millionaire, she’ll also be in action at the Meadowlands on Saturday, racing in the Fresh Yankee Trot. In addition, Liverman will have two starters in the Jim Doherty Trot for two-year-old fillies: Im Outstanding and Miss Teszla, third and second in their respective eliminations last week.

“It’ll be a nerve-wracking day,” he said, “but I wouldn’t miss it.”
