Saturday’s Hambletonian card at the Meadowlands wastes no time getting interesting. The second race is the $253,700 Lady Liberty, a mares free-for-all featuring what may be the strongest group of distaff pacers since last fall’s Breeders Crown. And that is only fitting, since six of the 10 entrants raced in last year’s Breeders Crown Final, headed by defending Mare Pace champ Anndrovette. Trained by P.J. Fraley for Jeff Bamond and Joe Davino, 5-year-old Anndrovette comes into the race off a win in the $387,090 Roses are Red Final at Mohawk, where she finally bested Put On A Show after finishing second to her main rival twice, once in the elimination and also in an overnight event at Harrah’s Philadelphia. Starting from the rail, she will benefit from having regular pilot Tim Tetrick in the bike.[bc_video_id:258803:] “I’ve been in the game a while, but Anndrovette has been a special horse since we purchased her in 2010,” Bamond said. Another special horse, also owned by Bamond and Davino and trained by Fraley, is Krispy Apple.  She has been inconsistent this year, but qualified well July 28, nearly besting top sophomore filly American Jewel in a 1:51 mile. She will have to overcome post 8 and will not be coupled with Anndrovette, per NJRC rules. If Anndrovette is not the public choice, the Chris Ryder-trained Put On A Show will be. The richest mare in the field, with $2.1 million on her card, she will be driven from post 5 by Jody Jamieson. She has clearly recovered from surgery in March 2011 to repair a bone chip after being named the Dan Patch 3-year-old pacing filly of the year in 2010. She missed all of 2011, but has posted a 13-7-2-1 record for earnings of $225,374 this year, winning at Woodbine in 1:50. Richard and Joanne Young share title on the Rocknroll Hanover mare with Craig Henderson. She should be well placed. [HAMBLETONIAN: Watch race previews, see Saturday’s full card LIVE] Yannick Gingras gets the call on the Ross Croghan trainee, Drop The Ball. Last year at 3, she won her Breeders Crown elimination and missed by just a head in the final to Monkey On My Wheel. Drop The Ball has drawn post 4 and may have the best current form of any of this year’s entrants. She won her elimination and the final of the Green With Envy at the Meadowlands and then took her elimination for the Roses Are Red, finishing second to Anndrovette in the final.  She is owned by Let It Ride Stables, Dana Parham, and Robert Cooper Stables. Chancey Lady was second to Anndrovette in last year’s Breeders Crown, but has been a bit inconsistent this season, despite winning 5 of 16. Peter Pellegrino trains the 7-year-old, who will surpass $2 million in earnings if she finishes fifth or better. Jim Morrill Jr. will steer her from post 7 for Baron Racing Stable. Trainer Ron Burke has two solid entrants in the Lady Liberty, led by Rocklamation, who won a 3-year-old Breeders Crown elimination race last year and gets Ron Pierce in the bike from post 6 for Our Horse Cents Stables, Stable 45, and Jerry Silva. The other, Ginger And Fred, now 6, has drawn post 9 for Burke and owners Howard Taylor, Robert Feldman, Edwin Gold, and Silva. She comes off a win in her last start at Mohawk. Lightning Treasure (post 2) with Dan Dube for trainer Thomas Dibartolo, Rebeka Bayama (post 3) with Sylvain Filion for trainer Pat Lachance, and Higher And Higher (post 10) with trainer/driver Daryl Bier round out the powerful field in a race that could go a long way to sorting out divisional distaff honors.
