When the entry box closes on Tuesday morning for Saturday's Somebeachsomewhere Stakes, the name Wiggle It Jiggleit will not be present.
Owner George Teague told Trot Insider late Monday that the undefeated world record-holding son of Mr Wiggles would be shipping to Canada for the North America Cup eliminations but he would not be racing in the Somebeachsomewhere.
This past weekend, Wiggle It Jiggleit faced off against fellow Indiana-bred Freaky Feet Pete in a highly-anticipated race. The rain and sloppy surface didn’t seem to inconvenience Wiggle It Jiggleit as he posted his 10th consecutive win in Saturday's $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes Final with a 1:49.3 score. Despite the off track, the mile established a new track record for three-year-old pacing geldings.
"He came out of the race good and he's back home," Teague told Trot Insider. "We're going to try to leave in a couple of days and head up to Canada."
The draw for the Somebeachsomewhere Stakes will be available later today (Tuesday, June 2).
Wiggle It Jiggleit is one of 47 three-year-old pacing colts still eligible to the 2015 Pepsi North America Cup, Canadian harness racing's richest prize. Eliminations for the N.A. Cup are set for next Saturday, June 13 with the $1 million final on Saturday, June 20.
