Weller Green doesn't have much speed to close into in Sunday's eighth race at Woodbine, but returning to the course over which he graduated could put him over the top in the nonwinners-of-two allowance on the main turf.

We are one week removed from the announcement that after 46 years the Hambletonian is leaving the Meadowlands. It should come as no surprise that on a personal level this is not a decision I am happy about and I want to be upfront about that. I feel some heartbreak as I write this column. For me, this is like the Dodgers leaving Brooklyn. The Hambletonian at the Meadowlands is a race I have attended more than 25 times, many with my dad and more recently an event I have attended with my son. There is even a picture of my son at six weeks old in the Hambletonian trophy that was used in several racing publications. It's a part of my childhood and much like the Dodgers continue to play baseball, the Hambletonian will continue. But it will continue someplace else and for me, it won't be the same. But I am not going to write paragraph upon paragraph about my disappointment. There is far more at stake.
