Connections of 62 of the best Free For Allers in training -- 39 Levy and 23 Matchmaker -- have paid to play as both series get underway next weekend -- Matchmaker Friday (March 20) and GM Levy Saturday (March 21). As is traditionally the case, any number of career seven-figure performers shall be invading Westchester for these events. Leading the list for the Levy is, of course, Foiled Again. Harness racing's richest-ever horse, with career cash approaching $7 million, is to begin his 11-year-old campaign in this series. He won the Levy consecutively in 2008-09. Defending series champ P H Supercam is also among the eligibles, along with the likes of Apprentice Hanover, Big Boy Dreams, Clear Vision, Dancin Yankee, Lucan Hanover and Warrawee Needy. Somwherovrarainbow, who won the Matchmaker a season ago, is among the leading lasses this season. Anndrovette, a four=time consecutive (once in a dead-heat) older female pacer of the year, is also Matchmaker-bound, along with Carolsideal, Sayitall BB and Yagonnakissmeornot. Both the Levy ($50,000 per race) and Matchmaker ($40,000 per event) offer five preliminary legs, with finals (and consolations) scheduled for Saturday (April 25). A list of eligibles for both series are available above. Changing subjects, a friendly reminder that the Thursday (March 12) Pick-5 offers a carryover of $3,178.11 (50 cent base wager, races seven through 11). Click Here  News Archives |
