The Closest Races In Breeders Crown History - #13
Division: Open Pace
Location: Mohegan Sun Pocono
At age nine Foiled Again was poised to become the oldest horse to capture a Breeders Crown in its 30-year history.
The Open Pace closed the curtain on 2013's Breeders Crown night at Mohegan Sun Pocono, and the effort put forth could go down as one of the most gutsy performances of Foiled Again's storied career.
The Closest Races In Breeders Crown History - #12
Division: Open Trot
Location: Mohegan Sun Pocono
After winning the Maple Leaf Trot, Market Share was the beaten favourite in six of his next seven races.
After finishing second in the 2012 Breeders Crown, Mister Herbie had a bad case of seconditis going, finishing as the runner-up in half of his seasonal starts.
Those two trotters engaged in a thrilling stretch duel to the wire in the $600,000 Open Trot in 2013.
The Closest Races In Breeders Crown History - #11
Division: Three-Year-Old Colt Pace
Location: Woodbine Racetrack
What many people recall from the 2011 Breeders Crown at Woodbine was the travel trouble that stranded numerous drivers in New Jersey and resulted in a number of last-minute driver changes.
One of those drivers not originally scheduled to drive in the sophomore pace provided one of narrowest margins of victory in this division's history.
The Closest Races In Breeders Crown History - #10
Division: Two-Year-Old Filly Trot
Location: The Meadowlands
"I think this was one of her best races of the year," said the winning driver in a post-race interview.
"She really had to gut it out and she was here when I called on her late and I was very proud of her tonight. The fractions were going to be stiff and didn't want to get her in a speed duel and have her get tired before the wire."
The Closest Races In Breeders Crown History - #9
Division: Two-Year-Old Colt Pace
Location: The Meadowlands
With Somebeachsomewhere already shut down for the season, the Breeders Crown for two-year-old colt pacers would be captured by another of the talented colts from that crop.
Santanna Blue Chip and Jody Jamieson sat the two-hole behind Sand Shooter and David Miller, hoping to get towed into a Breeders Crown victory and hoping to find room in the stretch.
The Closest Races In Breeders Crown History - #8
Division: Open Pace
Location: Mohawk Racetrack
Artistic Fella and Tim Tetrick did all the dirty work on the front end in the $540,000 Breeders Crown Open Pace at Mohawk.
With a half-length lead at the top of the lane, the stretch battle was on with Artistic Fella, Mister Big and Lis Mara sitting one, two and three respectively.
The Closest Races In Breeders Crown History - #7
Division: Two-Year-Old Colt Pace
Location: Woodbine Racetrack
In the 2001 $968,502 Breeders Crown for two-year-old colt pacers, Western Shooter and John Campbell looked to upset even money favourite and Metro Pace winner Mach Three with Randy Waples aboard.
Following a thrilling stretch duel, the colts paced across the wire nearly in tandem.
