Mr Big Spender, Southwind Chaska set for Breeders Crown elims

At 10h15, on October 17, 2025 • By Ken Weingartner, USTA Media Relations Manager

The fastest male and female 2-year-old trotters of the season, not to mention among the quickest of all time in their respective divisions – colt Mr Big Spender and filly Southwind Chaska – will look to continue their winning ways Friday when they compete in Breeders Crown eliminations at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

Mr Big Spender heads to his elim, the first of two $25,000 (USD) divisions for the freshman boys, off a 1:51.2 victory in a division of the Bluegrass Stakes on Sept. 25 at The Red Mile. That time is the fastest of the season for a 2-year-old trotter and tied for the second-fastest ever by a 2-year-old male trotter.
