The First 2 favorites in detail:
Somebeachsomewhere (foaled 25 May 2005) is a champion standardbred racing horse. He was sired by Mach Three, out of Wheres The Beach, a Beach Towel mare. The colt was purchased as a yearling for $40 000, and is currently owned by Schooner Stables of Truro, Nova Scotia. Brent MacGrath has estimated that the colt has a market value between $4 million and $6 million.
2 Year Old Campaign
He began his racing career in the Battle of Waterloo at Grand River Raceway, where he went off as a second favorite in the eliminations, and won by a comfortable margin of three lengths. In the $300 000 final of the event, bettors took notice of him and won the race as a 4-5 post time favorite.
After proving the colt's ability on the small track, he moved onto the Metro Pace Eliminations at Mohawk Racetrack. Somebeachsomewhere was drawn into the same elimination as Dali, the fastest two-year-old colt of the year, up to that point. Somebeachsomewhere was able to hold off race favorite, Dali, and won the race by 3 1/2 lengths in 1:52.1. The next week was the $1 million final of the event, which Somebeachsomewhere won as the race favorite, in a world record 1:49.3.
To finish off his two-year-old campaign, Somebeachsomewhere raced in a pair of stakes races at Mohawk, the Champlain Stakes, and the Nasagaweya Stakes, which he won by comfortable margins.
Somebeachsomewhere earned $812 592 in his freshman year, with a perfect record of six wins in six starts.
