Sally Hinckley dominated for the week in HANA Harness’ 2013 Grand Circuit Handicapping Challenge.
Hinckley’s $186 profit for the week was $129 ahead of the second-place finisher Mark McKelvie. Also on the 'plus' side of the ledger was Rusty Nash, who eked out a $16.50 profit. Despite a negative finish for the week, Richard Scott retains the overall lead by a margin of $786.
Hinckley can attribute her coming out on top for the week thanks to hitting a $5 Trifecta key in the first division of the Kentuckiana for two-year-old filly trotters at Hoosier Park which added $248 to her gross profit.
The contest standings are:
