Pepsi North America Cup REVISED advance odds; Somebeachsomewhere undefeated heading into eliminations

Dali won the first division of the Burlington Stakes in a stellar 1.50.3 and propelled himself into 2nd favourite going into the Pepsi North America Cup eliminations next Saturday, June 7th. The unbeaten Somebeachsomewhere coasted to a 151.3 over Santanna Blue Chip in the 2nd field, while Keystone Horatio passed Deuce Seelster and Lonestar Legend to win the final leg in 151.4.

Here are my pre-elimination race odds for the Pepsi North America Cup harness horse standardbred major stakes race, REVISED June 6th, though all 3 top contenders (unchanged) are in separate divisions, so that bodes well for them making the final:

4. Badlands Nitro 5-1

5. Keystone Horatio 9-1

Unbeaten Somebeachsomewhere Sensational in 7th Straight Win; Pepsi NA Cup ahead

May 31/2008 - The Maritime-owned Somebeachsomewhere won his division of the Burlington Stakes tonight at Mohawk Raceway in commanding fashion. Driver Paul Macdonell had the son of Mach Three off to a leisurely start, settling into the 4th position after watching 2nd favorite Santanna Blue Chip scream to the lead from the 10 hole.



Beach was first-over on the backstretch and reached the lead before the turn for home. Somebeachsomewhere was never really challenged and is now undefeated in seven lifetime starts. Santanna Blue Chip and Jody Jamieson held on for second as Luc Oulette, having a big night with 3 winners in the first 4 races, guided On The Brink to a third place finish. All of the top 3 are eligible for the Pepsi North America Cup on June 14th, with the NA Cup eliminations on June 7th.
