Bettor's Delight, shooting for his second one million dollar race victory
in three weeks, is the 6-5 morning line favorite from post seven in
Saturday's $1,009,000 Meadowlands Pace. However, Real Desire, the 5-2 second
choice, will start from post eight.
Trained by Scott McEneny and driven by Mike Lachance,
Bettor's Delight
captured the $1-million (Cdn) North America Cup on June 23 at Woodbine in
Toronto. He's already earned $1,692,661 in his career.
A victory in The Meadowlands Pace (9:59 p.m.) would bring
him one race
closer to the $1 million Pacing Grand Slam bonus, given to the owner of the
pacer that wins the North America Cup, Meadowlands Pace, Little Brown Jug and
Breeders Crown. Bettor's Delight, a son of Cam's Card Shark-Classic Wish, is
owned by John Grant of Hornby, Ontario.
Bettor's Choice won his Meadowlands Pace elimination in
1:50 over
Whosurboy and Cardmaster Hanover. Picnic In The Park took the second elim in
1:51 over Lotsa Clout and Klingon Hanover. Real Desire scored in a season's
best 1:49.4 over Full Of Fun and Ameripan Gigolo. In the final elimination
the winner was LCB in 1:51.2 over On The Attack and Hawaiian Cowboy.
Nine of Saturday's 10 Meadowlands Pace finalists are
eligible to the
56th Little Brown Jug to be raced Thursday afternoon, September 20 at
the
Delaware, Ohio County Fairgrounds. Only On The Attack is not eligible.
