The late Pick 4 and the Pick 5 were not hit on Thursday night (October 15) at MGM Yonkers Raceway, so there will be a $4,594.92 carryover in the late Pick 4 and a $7,057.19 Pick 5 carryover on Friday night (October 16). The late Pick 4 will be guaranteed at $20,000 and the Pick 5 at $25,000.

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.

Driver Scott Zeron brings a solid hand into Saturday's Breeders Crown elimination races at Scioto Downs. The three-time Hambletonian winning driver has been known for his steady hand behind trotters, and those hands will be tested with critical spots for the rich finals on October 24 in the balance.
