This time, American National up for grabs
By Joe Clancy http://www.drf.com/news/article/108138.html In 2002, Tom Brady won his first Super Bowl. Lance Armstrong won his fourth Tour de France. Volponi upset the Breeders' Cup Classic. And a horse other than McDynamo or Good Night Shirt won American steeplechasing's biggest race. Thanks to the two superstars McDynamo (2003-07) and Good Night Shirt (2008), the sport's signature stakes turned into a game of "Who's going to finish second?" That changes Saturday as 14 horses signed on for the $250,000 American Grand National at the 88th annual Far Hills Races in Far Hills, N.J. The Far Hills card features five other steeplechase races. The secondary feature, the $100,000 Foxbrook, attracted a standout group of nine novice hurdlers, including division leaders Left Unsaid, Tricky Me, and You the Man, plus Saratoga winner Terpsichorean and the accomplished Seer.
