Trainer Jimmy Takter has some of the heavy hitters in the sport set for action on Saturday night at Woodbine Mohawk Park. With sophomore male pacers prepping for the North America Cup in divisions of the Somebeachsomewhere, Takter is well represented with Lost In Time leading a solid quartet. On the aged front with the Graduate for 4-year-olds taking a turn North of the border, Ariana G looks for her second straight victory in the division for trotters. On the pacing side, the well-bred Blood Line looks for a second consecutive win. The Hall of Fame trainer made his bones in the sport early on racing exclusively trotters, but since has become the go-to conditioner on the pacing front, especially with stakes-ready colts. Lost In Time came to Takter late last year and has returned in top shape. He enters the 10th race looking for his first sophomore victory. “I was happy with the way he raced in the Sire Stakes,” said Takter of the second-place finish on May 19 at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono. “He didn’t get around the last turn that well and lost some momentum but he came on strongly late.” Scott Zeron drives Lost In Time from post three in the C$60,000 event. Takter has two in the first Somebeachsomewhere division (race 5) with Grant Teton (post 2) and Nutcracker Sweet (post 7) forming an uncoupled entry. “I was very happy with Nutcracker Sweet,” said Takter of his Sire Stakes effort. “He was actually stuck behind Lost In Time and finished well. Tim (Tetrick) was very happy with the horse.” Nutcracker Sweet, a half-brother to Sweet Lou and full brother to $2.7 million winner Bettor Sweet, was first or second in seven of his 13 starts as a freshman. Grand Teton is a half-brother to Pure Country and Takter thinks he could develop. “He’s a bit of a sleeper but I think he has a chance to be a good one,” said Takter. The well-bred Pro Beach (post 8) will have to show improvement against a field that includes the 1:49 1/5 winner over the Woodbine Mohawk Park course a week ago, Lather Up. Ariana G went over the $2 million mark in career earnings in capturing the first leg of the Graduate at The Meadowlands on May 19. The Muscle Hill-sired mare faces 10 rivals in the C$95,250 Graduate carded as race 7 of a dozen on the program. “I’d say she is more powerful this year,” said Takter of Ariana G, high praise for the winner of a dozen races as a sophomore. “I think she’ll be good racing against 4-year-olds for now. There aren’t that many top aged horses out there so I think she’ll be competitive once she goes against them,” said Takter. Yannick Gingras guides Ariana G from post two with first round winner Achille Duharas landing post 7. Unlike his oft-winning stablemate, Blood Line was victorious just one time in 19 starts in 2017, his sophomore season. The son of Somebeachsomewhere finally found the winner’s circle last Saturday at The Meadowlands after a 1:49 3/5 mile. “It was good getting him some confidence against weaker horses,” said Takter. “Actually he’s come back very well. He got into a really bad spot and was shuffled in the Confederation Cup at Flamboro. I don’t know how Trevor (Henry) got him out of there.” Blood Line landed the rail in the ninth race, a C$63,500 Graduate leg where he’ll meet seven rivals. “He just didn’t have any luck last year,” said Takter. Blood Line will have to deal with last year’s Breeders Crown champion Beckhams Z Tam (post 3) as well as the resurgent 4-year-old Eddard Hanover (post 7), who most recently was placed second in the Confederation Cup. Two from Takter’s stable not racing at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Saturday but worthy of mention are the sophomore pacer Thinkbig Dreambig and the undefeated trotting filly Manchego. “I really like Thinkbig Dreambig. He’s got a lot of talent and I’m going to take my time with him,” said Takter. The Bettor’s Delight-sired colt was a  1:49 2/5 winner in just his second career start last Saturday. Manchego was effortless in her season’s debut. “She’s like a deer out there. I’ve never seen a horse with the bounce she has,” said Takter.
