HOT Harness Racing Drivers and Trainers at Mohawk Raceway

I would say the most amazing performances in recent days have been from Sylvain Filion, and the hot hands are starting to get some good horses. Randy Waples is continuing his torrid summer, while Mark Macdonald is back with these 2 and Jamieson as the elite drivers of WEG standardbred racing.

Other top performing drivers at Mohawk include Condren, Rick Zeron, Simon Allard, Trevor Ritchie (all old track hands know about Ritchie and trotters), Henriksen, Chris Christoforou, Mario Baillargeon and Paul Macdonell.

Hot barns in recent weeks include a return to dominance by Casie Coleman, after Tracy Brainard posted some big numbers in the spring. Benoit Baillargeon keeps on winning, and August cards have seen horses from Marty Fine, Bob McIntosh, Per Henriksen, Ben Wallace, Richard Moreau, Stephen Charlton and Michael Grant blazing to the wire.

In coming days I will post some theories and examples of how to cash big exotic tickets, including Win 3s and Superfectas.

Peace.
