Our weekly look at Harness Racing's ten best horses, ranked. Greg reports that Herb had a tough week this week. He had to move a couple out, due to injury and sub par losses.
He moved Nebupannezar in, as he was lights out in a major race (a grade one to runner fans), and has raced well all year. He is close to being the 2YO pacer of the year if he converts the BC.
Enough Talk, with another win, is coming on hard, so he moved up a couple of spots. He has become the top older trotter in racing. He is a world record holder as well.
Federal Flex had some sickness issues, so Herb was not sure if he would bounce back, but he did. He moves in. He is this years Dewey, or Donato in the 2YO ranks - the top juvenile trotter in racing.
Shadow Play has stamped himself the "horse other than Beach", is a world record holder in his own right; and being so close to one of the best ever, the Jug champ deserves an uptick (Herb note: He would have stayed at 4 if he lost by a couple). Frankly, he would be a horse the big breeding operations would be after, but he was born in the wrong year. If he races last year, he probably wins everything and would be an easy #1 on this list. It is one thing Herb's list does that others do not - he looks at a horses place in history and ranks accordingly.
