| Homicide Hunter trots to a new world record of 1:50.1 in the Sebastian K Invitational at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono.. |
The Mr Cantab gelding Homicide Hunter smashed the world record for 4-year-old trotting geldings with a 1:50.1 victory in the $50,000 Sebastian K Invitational Trot at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono on Saturday (Aug. 20). In fact, the only divisional world standard for a 5/8ths mile track that’s faster is the 1:49 all-time record, set in the older stallion division by Sebastian K.
The most potent teaming at Pocono–driver George Napolitano Jr. and trainer Chris Oakes–were the sponsorship behind Homicide Hunter, who spotted third as Wings Of Royalty took the field to the lead in :26.3, then brushed to the top and reached the half-mile after a slight breather in :55.3.
After that, it was the rest of the field that was left gasping, as Homicide Hunter went to the three-quarters in 1:22.4 and stayed strong to the finish, winning by four lengths while lowering the former divisional standard, co-held by 2015 divisional champ JL Cruze and Wind Of The North, both here at Pocono.
Il Sogno Dream rallied for second up the inside to hit the wire a neck ahead of strong-closing Rose Run Parker behind Homicide Hunter, who also posted the fastest trotting mile of 2016 on all sizes of tracks, a fifth of a second faster than Resolve posted in a Meadowlands victory.
Homicide Hunter, who dominated the Indiana landscape in 2015 while winning 16 of 18 races and over $475,000, was purchased this year by Crawford Farms Racing, and that purchase looks very astute right now, as Homicide Hunter boosted his bankroll to $655,999.
