I’m not giving out my selections here, but those will be available Thursday afternoon on our MOHAWK EVENT PAGE, where you can find LIVE VIDEO for the Saturday card, FREE full card and video ANALYSIS, video REPLAYS of all the eliminations, and much more.

I’m not giving out my selections here (you’ll have to wait until Thursday for that), but maybe you can read between the lines. Thursday I'll cover the C$1.5 million North America Cup for 3-year-old pacers.

North America Cup night (June 16) is one of the biggest events in all of harness racing. Four rich stakes finals for 3-year-olds and a couple of other stakes will highlight a stellar card at Mohawk Racetrack. For the next four days, I will review the elimination efforts of all the 3yo finals and chime in with my thoughts on each horse’s chance on Saturday. Below is my horse-by-horse lowdown for the C$642,000 Fan Hanover along with my morning line.

The argument of quality versus quantity has long been debated in history. When it comes to racing, a case can be made for both sides. In wagering it is clearly better to have full fields and contentious races. This weekend, many of the best standardbreds in North America will on display at Mohawk Racetrack vying for spots in next week’s rich finals for 3-year-olds of both sexes and gaits. While my interest in watching these elimination races is high, wagering on races where at least half the field in each split makes the final is hardly a prime opportunity.
