After two big wins at the Meadowlands in recent weeks, Sebastian K takes 1st place in the opening week of the Hambletonian/Breeders Crown Standardbred Top Ten Poll of the best trotters and pacers on the continent.
Voted on by members of the harness racing industry, this poll is not purely tied to winnings but also evaluation of overall performances. After a strong win in the Cutler Final it is not surprising to see Sebastian K in the lead spot after Week #1. The rest of the top 10 and those horses that were also voted for are listed below:
