Trainer Jimmy Takter has a chance to win the trotting Triple Crown, albeit in an unconventional way.
The final leg of the Crown is the $500,000 Yonkers Trot, a 3-year-old open, on Saturday night at Yonkers Raceway. By virtue of his half-length loss in the Hambletonian, Takter trainee Nuncio has no chance to be a Triple Crown champion, but since that Hambletonian defeat was delivered by stablemate Trixton, there's still a chance for a Takter Triple Crown.
Nuncio, driven by Hall of Famer John Campbell, heads into the Trot having won three straight, including the $435,000 Kentucky Futurity, the second leg of the Crown, on Oct. 5. He also easily won his Trot elimination by 3 ½ lengths last Saturday.
"He was very strong in the stretch," said Takter about Nuncio's Trot elimination win. "He's in great form. The horse is sharp."
Nuncio has never been worse than second in 24 lifetime starts and has nine wins in 14 outings this season.
"He's got a fantastic resume. He's a really hard worker," Takter said.
A victory in Yonkers' signature race would be Campbell's third and Takter's fourth.
The stakes-filled card also includes the $500,000 Messenger for 3-year-old open pacers, the $150,874 Hudson Filly for 3-year-old filly trotters, the $124,590 Lady Maud for 3-year-old filly pacers and the $250,000 International Trot Preview, an invitational featuring the top-ranked horse in training, Sebastian K.
The Yonkers Trot has an approximate post time of 8:50 p.m.
