In five of his six starts, Dealt A Winner has been dealt a winning hand.
The gelded son of Cams Card Shark puts a three-race winning streak on the line in the $43,000 New Jersey Futurity for two-year-old pacers, the ninth race on Saturday, October 25, 2014 at Freehold Raceway.
The Futurity, which is sponsored by the Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey, drew eight starters, including two fillies.
Dealt A Winner, trained by Ed Hart, is coupled in the wagering with Green Acres Champ Rock N Roll World [Rocknroll Hanover], who is conditioned by Richard ‘Nifty’ Norman. Jeff Snyder of New York City owns Dealt A Winner and is partners with Three Decades Racing LLC of Moorestown, NJ on Rock N Roll World.
The entry is rated the favourite at 6-5 on the morning line.
Dealt A Winner, who has a bankroll of $119,879 posted an eight-length victory in his last start, the $100,000 Lou Babic Final at Freehold on September 27. He has also won divisions of the Reynolds and Geers, both at Tioga Downs, and a preliminary leg of the New Jersey Sire Stakes at the Meadowlands.
The only flaw in his record was when he uncharacteristically went off stride at the start of the New Jersey Sire Stakes Final on July 12, rallied from ninth and still finished third.
