Southwind Gendry takes final spot in Top 10 in Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll

July 13, 2021, by Ken Weingartner, USTA Media Relations Manager

Hightstown, NJ — Southwind Gendry, who won one of last week’s two Meadowlands Pace eliminations, took the final spot in the Top 10 in this week’s Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll. The gelding was the only newcomer in the Top 10.

This Is The Plan, Manchego, Test Of Faith, and Atlanta — all idle last week — were unchanged in positions one through four. Hot Mess Express, also idle, moved from seventh to fifth as It’s Academic and American Courage slid in the rankings following losses last week. It’s Academic was third in the Graduate Series Trot final and American Courage was fourth in the Meadowlands Pace elim won by Southwind Gendry.

Perfect Sting, ranked ninth this week, was third in the Southwind Gendry elim. Abuckabett Hanover dropped out of the Top 10 after finishing fifth in the same race.

The Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll does not determine Horse of the Year. The members of the U.S. Harness Writers Association vote on all Dan Patch Award division winners plus Trotter of the Year, Pacer of the Year and Horse of the Year.

Rankings based on the votes of harness racing media representatives on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.
