Age-defying winners
Six, six, seven and seven. That’s how old the four winners were in the older Breeders Crown events were this year.
Canada’s six-year-old Dreamfair Eternal won the mare pace.
Six-year-old Won The West won the open pace.
Enough Talk, the oldest in his field, won the open trot.
Buck I St Pat, two years older than anyone in her field, won the mare trot.

• Not one of the top 12 fastest freshman pacing fillies of all time also made the list of the top 12 fastest sophomore pacing fillies.
• Despite a few tracks that are taking credit for being the first to introduce the Pick-6, it really began in 1959 at Rockingham Park during their fall meet. The first one paid over $6,200 and the general manager who first brought this bet to fruition was Lou Smith. (Source: Harness Horse Magazine - October, 1959)
• George Brennan’s first Meadowlands driving title also vaulted him past $5 million for the meet (he was the leader in that category as well). His win percentage of 19.8 was also tops, and he became just the third driver in Meadowlands history to average over two wins per night for the entire meet, joining Brian Sears and John Campbell.
• With almost $14 million to his credit so far in 2010, Tim Tetrick is heading towards his fourth straight $16 million season. Only Sears has reached $16 million and he did it just once.
