Last year the US Pacing Championship was raced in two divisions, with WWS beating Aracache in one division of eight (after a scratch) and Bettor Sweet beating Alexie and Foiled in the other division of eight.
This year there is one twelve horse field, with HBC and Foiled starting from the second tier. Golden Receiver has the rail for Andy Miller, who hasn

Hmmm. Who will be driving Meirs? Brennan. Sears, driving god Miller, Palone, Griz? idunno

Sears has driven Meirs plenty of times. He's the logical choice.
Aracache is still open. JJ drives Knows Nothing in the previous race and isn't listed for a Mohawk drive until the eighth race, which goes off after 9:30.

Well I am guessing it will not be Palone or driving god Miller, as they are both racing at The Meadows Saturday night. Palone will hop a plane immediately after the Hambo to head back to Pittsburgh.
George Brennan, Brian Sears, and Sylvain Filion also drove the horse. Actually Filion did quite well with Meirs in Canada.

Does David Stay on WTW or go to Rockincam?
If it was me, I would take Rockingcam. If he doesn't, a live drive opens up

Definitely Rockincam. Not a shred of doubt.

Cimags reminded me not to leave Jim Morrill out of the Meirs equation.
My man Cimags says Jim Morrill is the best driver in the USA. I think that means Cimags cashed a ticket on him recently.

I'd still like to know what happened and why Sears isn't driving Golden Receiver. Did BS opt off a few weeks ago for a reason or was there a failling out between him and the connections of the horse?
Of course, if this sport had a one-tenth of one percent of interest from the media, this story would have been analyzed and debated on every ESPN show for the last month.

If either wins from the second tier.......first round is on me!!

A full field of 12 Open pacers? thumbsup

Okay, memory check. Sears drove Meirs to a win in the Final of a series at M1 (Clyde Hirt?)while the gang was in Vegas and I was sitting next to LVGaryD. A call from Cimags immediately followed the victory.

And that was the only ticket I cashed all night. hammerhead1

Sears did very well with Meirs in the three Exit 16W races that followed that, too.

Morrill it is.
I don't get the Sears off either, especially considering he just qualified him.
Aracache is one for one with Brennan. My bet is that he'll be two for two. That horse raced HUGE for George.

JJ drives Hypnotic. Two years ago this week he won this race with HBC (11/1), beating Shark Gesture (1/5), jet-propelled Oliver Cleo and Foiled in a WR 47.2.

This is as good a group of drivers in one race as we've seen in quite a while.

It looks like a great betting race but the morning line is a bit odd, pardon the pun. For a horse that is 0-for-8 and has a driver who is just a shadow of his former greatness, it doesn't make sense that Bettor Sweet is the fourth choice at 6-1.
I actually like his chances to make an impact. His trainer always seems to have him primed for the big races and he's put up some game efforts. Inside post is going to help with this big field, and I wouldn't be surprised if he benefits from some hot fractions like a 52-and-change half.
I think 16-1 or better would be more like it, but 6-1? Come on.

Won The West is 25/1 in the ML. Oh how far and fast the mighty have fallen.
Last Year WTW was 5/2 in the ML and went off at 5/2, finishing out.
In 2010 he was 9/5 in the ML and went off at 2/1. He won.
In 2009 WTW was 10/1 in the ML and went off at 26/1, finishing third.
Bettor Sweet was 9/5 in the ML last year and went off at 2/1. He won.
In 2010 he was 8/1 in the ML and went off at 5/1, finishing fourth.
In 2009 BS was 5/1 in the ML and went off at 7/1, finishing fourth.
They did a very good job figuring the odds on those two in the UPC over the last three years.
Andy Miller will try to bottom the field with Golden Receiver, and Brennan will probably take advantage of Aracache

Thanks for the betting stats. However, Bettor Sweet is still 0-for-8 this year and Campbell's going to have to channel a Kirk Gibson type of miracle to get him home on top. Still thinking of him being a bigger price and an exotics consideration.
Hard to believe but the second tier might prove beneficial to Foiled. I can see him getting away 7th or 8th early and follow whoever goes after Golden Receiver first. Sure beats having the 9 or 10 hole.

this is the most intriguing race to me by far on the card.
The more I look the more I think I see Aracache Hanover We Will see exacta. Both have inside posts, and should work out great trips especially since the race will be run in the daytime
By the way, it is late Thursday night, it would be really nice to know WTF the betting options are for the card! We should all know by now

The options are: do or don't! You'll bet it anyway. rflmao1 rflmao1
