How can you best describe Leg 52 of HANA Harness’ Grand Circuit Shoot-Out Handicapping Contest? A romp.
With only four races remaining going into Saturday night’s action, many of the handicappers were looking for that hit to vault them into contention, while others were thwarted by the upset in the TVG Trot which was won by Intimidate, making their efforts for naught.
However, when the dust settled, Sally Hinckley remained true to form and was rewarded with the sole winning wager of the evening to show a weekly net profit of $1,625 to get top honours for the week.
Hinckley’s hit came in the final of the TVG Pace where she played a $125 Exacta Box of Sweet Lou and Foiled Again which paid $1,875, cutting her overall loss to $4,637.40.
Despite being shut out last night, Garnet Barnsdale continues cruising towards the contest finish line with an overall net profit of $4,757.40, leading his closest competitor by $3,231.40 with just two races remaining.
The current standings with two legs remaining in the competition are:
The Handicapping Shoot-Out takes a week off before the final two legs are contested beginning with the Progress Pace at Dover Downs on December 7 before wrapping up on December 12 at Northfield Park for the Cleveland Classic.
