Cotolo’s Harness Review, News And Notes
(Photo by Horsephotos.com)
Once again this week, success is all about the horses-to-watch (H2W) list, with second-timers making up for some of the many that lost as first-, second- and-third public choices.
The Levy divisions at Yonkers on Saturday were won by choices except for the best bet, Something For Doc, who finally lost to a horse we gave out in round one, Razzle Dazzle. Our other choices in Levy divisions this week finished second or third to the top dogs.
On Friday, our Matchmaker choices only produced two seconds, Full Picture (our other choice, Moonlit Dragon was third) and Rocklamation.
Now to the big winners. Here are the results of all the wins, places and shows from the extraordinary H2W list, exclusive to TwinSpires.
