The gelded son of Explosive Matter-Wishful Me, who has now won eight of his last nine starts, sat third early before moving uncovered to the lead at the three-eighths and settling on the point at the half in a rated :56. Driver Tim Tetrick asked for speed on the far turn, and Rich And Miserable delivered by opening up a three-length advantage on JL Cruze at head of the stretch on the way to safe two-length win. Trolley rallied along the inside to get second. Early leader JL Cruze held third.
Tetrick had some appreciation for his horse – as well as his regular driver – who was not at the Big M Saturday. “What a sweetheart (Rich And Miserable) is,” said Tetrick. “Jogged around in (1):51(.1), :27(.1) home with earplugs in. Thanks, Tyler (Buter).”
Rich And Miserable, who is trained by Todd Buter, returned $3.20 to win as the public choice. He’s now won nine-of-12 this year.
Tetrick also guided Hambletonian hopeful Green Manalishi S, who has now won seven-of-14 lifetime outings, to an easy score in a division of the Tompkins Geers for three-year-old colts and geldings on the trot. The son of Muscle Hill-Naga Morich S reported home a 1-1/4 length winner over Sheenas Boy in 1:52.4 as the 2-5 favourite.
“He’s got all of the attributes to be right there (in the Hambletonian),” said Tetrick.
Green Manalishi S is one of three powerhouse Hambo contenders from the Marcus Melander barn, the others being Greenshoe and Gimpanzee. “He can play with those,” said Tetrick.
Tetrick also drove a notable pacer to a scorching mile on the 93-degree sultry northern New Jersey night, guiding last year’s three-year-old male pacer of the year, the Ron Burke-trained Dorsoduro Hanover, to a 1:47.4 score as the 4-5 choice in a high-range conditioned event. The time lowered the previous best for the gelded son of Somebeachsomewhere-Deer Valley Miss by two seconds.
Earl Beal Memorial upset winner Marseille won his second straight for trainer-driver Ake Svanstedt, taking a division of the Tompkins Geers in a lifetime-best 1:51.4.
After paying $116.00 to win in the Beal, the son of Muscle Hill-Order By Wish paid just $13.20 this time around.
Tetrick finished the night with five winner’s circle visits after piloting Backstreet Shadow to a victory in the Preferred for four-year-old pacers, the Burke trainee's second 1:47.4 score of the season at the Big M.
