Broad Bahn Looks for Historic Double

Out of the 35 years of the Canadian Trotting Classic, only seven horses have been able to win the Hambletonian and Canadian Trotting Classic in the same year. They are Armbro Goal (1988), Giant Victory (1991), Yankee Paco (2000), Windsong’s Legacy (2004), Donato Hanover (2007), Deweycheetumnhowe (2008) and Muscle Hill (2009). Broad Bahn (Broadway Hall) will be looking to become the eighth horse to pull off this historic double.

10 horses are in pursuit of the $1-million Canadian Trotting Classic. Listed below is the field.

In the Canadian Trotting Classic, Manofmanymissions (Yankee Glide) and Daylon Magician are listed as the favorites in here. Broad Bahn will also be a heavy betting interest. Dejarmbro and Whatever It Takes (Credit Winner) may bring some high odds with that trio entered. “Takes” gained a lot of ground but had no room and was fourth by ¾ lengths in his elimination.

Dejarmbro is also a good betting interest in here. Although he has been second to this group several times, he is still the best. He was not eligible for the Hambletonian, nor is he for the Breeders Crown. But Dejarmbro is a strong horse and Brian Sears may put him in mid-pack and he may take advantage of Broad Bahn’s speed.
