A tip of the hat to the eight Dream Stable managers who count newly minted Meadowlands Pace champion One More Laugh among the three-year-olds in their barns.
As discussed previously here, one man, trainer Ray Schnittker, has One More Laugh in his barn — both literally and figuratively.
Reached by phone, one day after winning his first Meadowlands Pace to become only the sixth trainer in history to harness both a Hambletonian (Deweycheatumnhowe) and Pace winner, Schnittker got a chuckle over his jump up to 60th position in the contest thanks to One More Laugh’s big win.
“I like that thing, the contest,” said Schnittker, who selected eight of his own trainees when he filled out his entry form back in January and had no qualms about doing so, saying that a trainer simply must have confidence in his own crew.
Not surprisingly, when playfully reminded that the Dream Stable earnings were intended to represent fictional earnings for the contestants, Schnittker responded with a laugh once more.
The seven others who selected One More Laugh and were credited $500,000 for the win — but didn’t get to actually hoist the Pace trophy or cash any purse cheques — were as follows:
Jack Tindale (currently ranked #116)
Wayne Rowe (#185)
N R Clark (#236)
John Kuhns (#250)
Old Quarters Stable (#261)
Dave Landry (#270)
Thomas Wray (#274)
