Somebeachsomewhere wins Horse of the Month for June 2008

Article from Standardbred Canada story on Somebeachsomewhere

Somebeachsomewhere Is Mr. June

July 1, 2008 www.StandardbredCanada.ca

It comes as no surprise to see that the USTA has handed out the Horse of the Month honours for the month of June to Somebeachsomewhere, who was flawless in a pair of outings last month.

The three-year-old Mach Three colt turned in back-to-back 1:49 victories for trainer Brent MacGrath and driver Paul MacDonell, who watched the undefeated pacer cruise in his $50,000 elimination of the Pepsi North America Cup on June 7th followed by an authoritative score in the $1.5 million final on June 14th.

Owned by the Schooner Stables of Bible Hill, Nova Scotia, Somebeachsomewhere remains perfect in nine lifetime starts. His bankroll stands at $1,637,592 to date.

The multiple award-winning sophomore is gearing up for his first pari-mutuel start outside of his native land. He's scheduled to butt heads with his three-year-old counterparts at The Meadowlands on Saturday, July 12th in the eliminations for this year's Meadowlands Pace.

Unbeaten Somebeachsomewhere facing stiff competition in 2008 Pepsi North America Cup Final

I made it out to Mohawk Raceway last night to see Somebeachsomewhere win his 8th straight to stay undefeated, and to see Tug River Princess keep her streak alive (13 wins in 13 lifetime starts) in an elimination for the Fan Hanover Stakes for 3 year old pacing fillies.

Somebeachsomewhere paced to a personal best 1.49 (just 1/5 off the track record for 3 year old colts, held by Blissed Out), never really being challenged and appearing to have more in the tank for next week.

In the elimination races for the Pepsi North America Cup 2008 Final, the major horses in each division made the top 3, with all of my top 8 making the final, and Mucho Sleazy racing his way into a much deserved slot. One more horse will be drawn in from the 4th place finishers, with Lennon Blue Chip being the most threatening, but we'll see where the ball bounces. The top 4 in each division were:

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:


1. Somebeachsomewhere 8-5

2. Dali 2-1

3. Santanna Blue Chip 4-1

4. Badlands Nitro 5-1

5. Keystone Horatio 9-1

6. Art Official 12-1

7. Deuce Seelster 18-1

8. Sand Shooter 18-1

9. Idle Hour 18-1

10. On The Brink 20-1

11. Stonebridge Magnum 20-1

12. Share The Delight 20-1

13. Lonestar Legend 20-1

14. Lennon Blue Chip 25-1

15. Trade Editor 30-1

16. Mucho Sleazy 30-1

17. Rudy Rednose 30-1

These guesstimated advance odds are posted 25 hours before the Saturday elimination races begin. After reviewing the results and the post positions fpr the final, I will post Afternoon-line odds for the 2008 Pepsi North America Cup final.
