It’s definitely Larry Morrison’s week. First, his colt Up The Credit won the $1.5 million Pepsi North America Cup June 18 at Mohawk. Then, because Morrison (above) of Beeton, ON, was the only one of 423 competitors to write in Up The Credit on his Dream Stable form, he leapt into a dominant early lead in the race for the $2,500 first-place prize in the $5,000 contest sponsored by Hanover Shoe Farms.
See standings here.
It doesn’t hurt that Morrison also picked trotting colt Blue Porsche, who is undefeated in 2011 and won the Goodtimes Stakes on NA Cup night.
Sitting second, $327,328 off the pace, is Jim Fielding of Toronto, co-owner of undefeated pacing filly See You At Peelers. Fielding selected the super filly over a group of colts that race for more money as sophomores (though trainer Jimmy Takter has already raced Peelers against the boys and is vowing to do so again, perhaps in the Jug). Fielding also took outstanding sophomore trotting filly Crys Dream, which bodes well for his Dream Stable hopes.
Dream Stable standings will be posted and updated every Monday from now to the end of the year.
Over 400 Canadian Sportsman subscribers are vying for a share of $5,000 (Cdn) in total cash prizes. First place earns $2,500, second is worth $1,250, the stable finishing third earns $600, there’s a $400 prize for fourth and $250 goes to the fifth-place finisher. The stable that has the highest earnings from its yearling selections only (two-year-olds racing in 2011), earns a one-year subscription to The Sportsman.
