Bookie J put up a flawless performance on Saturday night at the Meadowlands, tracking down leader Thisbeestings Deo through a powerhouse stretch drive to the second of two $30,000 divisions of the New Jersey Home Grown for 3-year-old colts and geldings on the pace by 4 1/4 widening lengths.

Holding a top race for 3-year-old trotters in May has become tougher and tougher over time. Once the Hambletonian became worth $1 million and had a firm date of the first Saturday in August, trainers with prime candidates for the sport's biggest prize routinely waited to get into serious competition until June and sometimes later. While decent races were put on the calendar prior to the August date, quite often there was a lukewarm response in nominations and inevitably entries.

The last two weeks at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, the far turn has been the biggest foe for the 3-year-old Always B Miki sophomore gelding Twin B Thriller. Last week, he suffered broken equipment nearing the stretch, then would go on to make an equipment break; in Saturday’s $50,000 Championship of the Bobby Weiss Pacing Series, his smoothness of gait on that curve might not have won him any points, but his grit and speed earned him $25,000 as he won the finale in 1:52 1/5 on a dank day and sloppy track.
