Watch Captaintreacherous In His Stall

Published: March 26, 2013 05:09 pm EDT

Harness racing fans can now watch live behind the scenes video of O'Brien and Dan Patch Award-winning pacer Captaintreacherous.

Courtesy of Hallway Feeds/Rapco Feed and Protective Measures Fire and Security Company LLC, the video feed provides a 24 hour birds-eye view of Captaintreacherous at rest and at play.

Early this morning the “Captain” was seen playing with his orange traffic cone and watching quietly as his groom spread fresh bedding his stall.

Protective Measures Fire and Security Company LLC installed the stall camera. The 24 hour live video feed is sponsored by Hallway Feeds/Rapco Feed. For 45 years Hallway Feeds has been a family owned and operated business devoted to providing the highest quality products and services to the equine industry.

The live video is an added component to the Win a Share of Captaintreacherous Promotion at the Meadowlands Racetrack, where one lucky harness racing fan will experience the thrill of owning a champion racehorse. The video affords fans access to a phenomenal race horse and all fans are encouraged to tune in.

The Grand Prize is one-percent of all purses earned by Captaintreacherous during his racing career and ends when he retires from racing. The contest winner shall be responsible for none of the expenses incurred during the length of the promotion.

Syndicate manager Myron Bell proposed the idea to Jeff Gural when the colt was offered for syndication last fall. A deal was struck to make the concept a reality and the Meadowlands has purchased a share of Captaintreacherous for use in this exciting promotion.

As the star of the phenomenal first crop of super-sire Somebeachsomewhere, Captaintreacherous had a fantastic season in 2012. The "Captain" won the marquee two-year-old events at both the Meadowlands (Woodrow Wilson) and Mohawk Racetrack (The Metro) while compiling four wins of 1:50- or faster, the first freshman in harness racing history to accomplish that feat.

Fans may enter for a chance to win with paid admission every Saturday night through Saturday, May 4. Entry forms will be available at the admission gates and should be deposited in the designated containers located in the Clubhouse lobby and at the Paddock Level Promotions Table.

Twenty randomly selected names will be entered into the Grand Prize drawing to be held at 10 pm on Saturday, May 4. The drawing will be done in reverse order; with the first seventeen drawn receiving a $100 betting voucher, the 18th name drawn receives a $150 voucher and the runner-up will be awarded a $250 voucher. The 20th and final name drawn will receive the 1 percent share of Captaintreacherous' future purse earnings. Contestants must be present to win.
