"I probably should have been out about eight weeks, but I came back in five weeks. Driving those types, you don't get them every year to drive. I was a little lame when I came back but I was alright sitting in a racebike."
Driver Jack Moiseyev has sat behind his share of great trotters over the years. Hambletonian winner Giant Victory. Triple millionaire Fools Goal. On Saturday, Moiseyev will look to win two lucrative trotting stakes with The Game Plan and Daylon Magician. How do these talented sons of Kadabra compare with some of harness racing's best?
"These guys are right up there with them if not a little better," Moiseyev stated on today's edition of Trot Radio about these sons of Kadabra. "I was talking to John Kopas, he bought another Kadabra in the [Canadian Yearling] Sale, it just seems like the gait is so much better than a lot of other sires. And they try a lot harder at the end, it seems to me anyway. I've had a lot of luck with them."
Moiseyev sends out The Game Plan in Saturday's $469,000 William Wellwood Memorial and Daylon Magician in the $1 million Canadian Trotting Classic. The Game Plan was a 1:55 winner, which set a Canadian record for two-year-old trotting geldings while Daylon Magician was the fastest CTC elimination winner with his 1:53.3 score.

That's all they need to know. Super job of doing the interview.

George Brennan is due for a longie. He has the horse he won the Hambletonian with, and since the departure of Lou Pena, his win % has dropped a bit. I can see him in there at $61.20, and a dual win performance on the night would be no surprise.
Another winner could be Randy Waples who would like nothing better than lead them to the wire at 35-1.His drives for elims could start paying off with a win in one of the finals. Trotters normally pay more than pacers, so if leaning to trotters don't be shy with the wallet.
A play (trotting only) that has been around for years is playing the second longest shot to win. Don't know why, but once in a while they kick the dust up at the finish line.
