At 14h14, on July 15, 2023 • By Ken Weingartner, USTA Media Relations Manager

After being slowed by two bouts with sickness, Cool Papa Bell appears to be getting back up to speed in time for Saturday’s $410,250 E.T. Gerry Jr. Hambletonian Maturity for 4-year-old trotters at The Meadowlands.

Cool Papa Bell, who won the 2022 Hambletonian Stakes for 3-year-olds at the Big M, will face eight foes over a distance of 1-1/8 miles in the Maturity. The gelding is trained by Jim Campbell, who won the 2019 Maturity with Crystal Fashion and last week was named a nominee for the Harness Racing Hall of Fame.
