Fields Set

by James Witherite, Meadowlands

East Rutherford, N.J. – A full slate of elimination races on Saturday (October 22) evening at The Meadowlands narrowed down the harness racing fields for next weekend’s $5.8 million Breeders Crown, presented by Mullinax Ford.

Given that the withdrawal of likely favorite Betting Line from his elimination due to injury drastically changed the complexion of next week’s $500,000 Crown final for 3-year-old pacing colts and geldings, elimination winners Check Six and Western Fame were the pair to draw for post positions 1 through 5 before the other qualifiers took part in an open draw for all remaining post positions. That procedure was followed for all nine Crown events which required eliminations.

The complete fields for the 12 Breeders Crown finals, with elimination drivers and trainers, follow (elimination winners are identified with an asterisk):
