Market Share, the 2012 Hambletonian winner, has been entered to make his second start of 2013 seasonal pari-mutuel debut Friday, June 21 at the Meadowlands Racetrack in the $50,000 TVG/Meadowlands Free for All Trot.
Points will be earned in the event (Race 10), along with other designated races, to determine who advances to the $500,000 final on November 30 at the Meadowlands.
Market Share, a son of Revenue S driven by Tim Tetrick and trained by Linda Toscano, won the 2012 Hambletonian on his way to Three-Year-Old Trotting Colt of the Year honours in the United States. He won his 2013 debut on May 31 in 1:51.1.
Coupled in the wagering with Wishing Stone, the winner of last week’s Maxie Lee at Harrah’s Philadelphia, Market Share has been rated the 8-5 morning-line favourite from Post 8.
Lifetime, Market Share has 16 wins, five seconds and three thirds from 26 starts for a bankroll of $2,037,202.
There are no soft spots in Friday's $50,000 tilt, which also includes the Jimmy Takter-trained duo of Uncle Peter and Guccio, Cutler winner Sevruga, Undercover Strike, Big Sky Storm, Knows Nothing, Another Amaretto and Arch Madness, recently returned from finishing second in the Elitlopp in Sweden.
The Friday night card also includes a pair of $22,700 finals --- the Flower Child for trotters and the Cathedra Dot Com for pacing mares --- and a semi-final of the Summer Survivor Series.
