Songcan Bypasses Hambletonian Nominations In Brief
Westbury New York CAP reports Songcan will not compete in the Hambletonian at DuQuoin Illinois on August 3 because the four year old trotter was not nominated and supplementary nominations are not allowed. Veteran driver Stanley Dancer, unhappy at the ruling, says he believes Songcan could have been a strong Hambletonian favorite. The Dexter Cup at Roosevelt Raceway saw Super Bowl finish second to Longcan, with Super Bowl one length behind Songcan as he moved into early Hambletonian contention.
