All eyes are on Pepsi NA Cup winner Up The Credit heading into this weekend's eliminations for the Meadowlands Pace. His trainer, Carl Jamieson, has discussed his tactics with the colt heading into the big tilt, but has also discussed his top two-year-old, Warrawee Needy, and the offers which have been
coming in for him.
In regard to the elims for the 'Pace,' Jamieson told Trot Radio Host Norm Borg that he and the rest of the Up The Credit's connections are approaching the Pace in a similar fashion that they approached the NA Cup.
"We're hoping that he doesn't need a lot of training and hoping that he'll be fresh for the Meadowlands Pace," Jamieson said about the bay son of Western Terror.
During the discussion, Jamieson also went into detail regarding many of the methods he and the rest of his team used to turn Up The Credit from a talented, green freshman with a problem to a sought-after North America Cup winner with a robust bankroll.
What may prove to be the most interesting aspect of this episode of Trot Radio are Jamieson's comments regarding Warrawee Needy, the speedy E Dees Cam juvenile that has been pacing into the racing world's radars this season. After having lowered his mark to 1:51.4 in just his second career start, the bay colt cruised to a 1:52.2, wire-to-wire win Monday, July 4 at Mohawk Racetrack.
During this episode of Trot Radio, Jamieson discusses the offers which have been coming in for the budding stakes winner.
