Race comment
OVERVIEW: The Shakamaker Classic promises to be one of the best races of the night, despite the small field of six runners. The undefeated colt HESITATE (6) will do battle with the two Clayton Tonkin trained pacers THE HIGHLIGHT REEL (1) (Poster Boy) and APOLLOSTORM (3) (Art Major) with both of which performing exceptionally well at the trials. THE HIGHLIGHT REEL (1) recorded a slower mile rate than APOLLOSTORM (3) but he posted a last quarter of 26.2 seconds at his latest trial victory so if he holds the lead from the pole position, he will take plenty of catching. APOLLOSTORM (3) recorded a scintillating mile rate of 1.55.4 at his latest runaway trial victory against older horses so he is sure to attract plenty of support. HESISTATE (6) recorded a mile rate of 1.55.3 at his debut victory then overcame a tough run to win the Premiere Stakes. He has race experience to his advantage but he will have to be very good to park on the outside and defeat the two first starters. Adding to the mix is the Aaron Dunn trained colt FORTY LOVE (4), which was very impressive at his debut victory and appears to have a promising future. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 2,3,6 RATINGS: 1,3/ 6/ 4/ 2,5
