In the 42-year history of the Breeders Crown, there has likely never been a time that the two main contenders in the 2-year-old colt pacing division were as closely matched and as closely bound by blood as the match-up we will see on Friday night (Oct. 16) at Scioto Downs. To say that the undefeated Shalom Hanover and the once-beaten (by a head in the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes championship) Starstruck Dreamer have matched records on the racetrack would be a fair statement. To look even closer at their pedigrees would suggest they are quite close to being brothers by birth that went separate ways and now have found each other on the racetrack.

But trainer Todd Pletcher apparently was not completely satisfied with the colt’s five-furlong workout in 1:01.93 on Oct. 10 at Saratoga and thus he was not entered in the race.
