Top trotters to tangle in Cutler
At 0h37, on May 21, 2022 • By Ken Weingartner, USTA Media Relations Manager
In recent years, the Arthur J. Cutler Memorial for older trotters has belonged to the ladies. A mare has defeated the boys in three of the past four editions of the event, and four of seven going back to Bee A Magician’s triumph in 2015. In the three years a female did not win the Cutler, none were entered.
Bella Bellini, last year’s Dan Patch Award winner for best 3-year-old female trotter, and When Dovescry, who captured that honor in 2019, will carry the banner for the ladies in Saturday’s $170,450 Cutler Memorial at The Meadowlands. Bella Bellini and driver Dexter Dunn will start from post two in the nine-horse field while When Dovescry and David Miller leave from post eight.
