Hambletonian Selections; The Hits (and the Misses)

Here are my selections for Hambletonian Day 2014 at the Meadowlands.  I caution those who may use my selections that my track record on Hambletonian Day is pretty dismal.  However, every dog has their day and with luck, this dog will have a chance to shine this week.  After all, horseplayers are an optimistic lot.

As a reminder, these are my current selections.  Final selections may change based on late changes as well as changes in odds.
