Willowtime, who was runner-up to T C I for the 2023 O’Brien Award for best 2-year-old male trotter to compete in Canada, will make his U.S. debut for new owner Tom Pollack on Saturday (Feb. 8) when he faces nine rivals in a $24,000 conditioned trot at The Meadowlands.
An Ontario Sire Stakes champion and Grand Circuit winner at the age of 2, Willowtime was purchased privately by Pollack Racing in November and joined the stable of trainer Jeff Cullipher. The 4-year-old stallion was trained previously by Mark Etsell. He hit the board in 11 of 17 races in Canada, winning five, and earned C$473,097 (US$347,039). All his victories were against stakes company.
