Morning-line odds courtesy of the King’s Plate draw coverage.

Luster, the impressive Woodbine Oaks winner, landed the rail and will be the clear favorite for trainer Josie Carroll and Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez. She comes into the race off a spectacular 5 1/2-length Oaks victory and earned a 97 Beyer Speed Figure.

Highwaytothemoon, winner of the Plate Trial, drew post 8 and could find himself in an important tactical position in a field without an obvious dedicated front-runner. Brachetto, the Grade 3 Marine winner, drew post 9 and is the second choice on the morning line at 5-1. Dixie Law, runner-up in the Woodbine Oaks, starts from post 5 at 10-1.

We’ll talk about the King’s Plate draw, Luster’s rail post, the potential pace scenario, key contenders, live longshots and betting angles heading into Canada’s biggest race of the summer.

The $1 Million King’s Plate is the first jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown and will be contested at 1 1/4 miles over Woodbine’s Tapeta surface on Saturday, August 15.

Hambletonian Roundtable 2026 Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

Join In The Money Media for this in-depth handicapping analysis looking over the major races on the greatest day in harness racing taking place this Saturday (Aug. 8) at The Meadowlands with the $1,000,000 Hambletonian! Ray Cotolo hosts this Roundtable discussion with regular co-host Mikee P and is joined by a pair of expert handicappers in Garnet Barnsdale, former analyst for the Daily Racing Form and current author of the Horseplayer's Journal at Woodbine Mohawk Park, as well as Diamond Creek Farm's Shaun Laungani, who started in horse racing as a gambler before finding a career on the breeding side of the business. The four will analyze the major stakes on Hambletonian Day which also includes the $500,000 Hambletonian Oaks and many other big-money stakes gathering the best of the best in the harness racing world on a day that also coincides major stakes on the flat side with Whitney Stakes 2026 taking place at Saratoga Race Course. The Meadowlands offers a robust betting menu for the $1,000,000 Hambletonian card. With 16 races on tap, bettors can tap into $350,000 in guaranteed pools on the day highlighted by the $125,000 Guaranteed Pick 4 starting in Race 8, which includes the $500,000 Hambletonian Oaks and $1,000,000 Hambletonian finals. The Meadowlands will also offer a $3 Late Pick 3 on the last three races as well as a $5 Late Daily Double on the last two - a pair of bets that have grown in popularity on the flat side over recent years. This year's Hambletonian has gathered an intense three-pronged matchup inside of the 10-horse field with Ohio sensation Big Ranger earning morning-line favoritism at 2-1 following a 1:50 romp in his elimination for driver Tim Tetrick and trainer Anette Lorentzon. The colt, who spurred controversy when the ownership opted to switch trainers ahead of the Hambletonian, will face his toughest test to date as he confronts the 1-2 finishers from the other elimination Apex and Endurance, who together tussled through a long ways off of the pylons to finish noses apart in a 1:50.4 mile. Apex, by generational sire Walner and out of world champion mare Mission Brief, is listed as the second choice on the morning line at 5/2 while Endurance, the gutsy Chris Beaver-trained son of Hambletonian 2021 winner Captain Corey, is listed as the third choice on the morning line at 5-1. Below are the fields for the biggest races in harness racing, the Hambletonian Oaks 2026 and Hambletonian 2026: $500,000 Hambletonian Oaks No. 56 FINAL | 3YO Filly Trot (PP-Name // Driver-Trainer // Morning Line) 1-Busy Miss Lissy S // Ake Svanstedt-Ake Svanstedt // 4-1 2-Nezuko Kamado S // Scott Zeron-Marcus Melander // 2-1 3-Custom // Jason Bartlett-Per Engblom // 8-1 4-Setyoursightshigh // Dexter Dunn-Marcus Melander // 6-1 5-Lainey W // Dexter Dunn-Marcus Melander // 12-1 6-Carve // Andy McCarthy-Noel Daley // 7/2 7-Leading Lady // Matt Kakaley-Nancy Takter // 10-1 8-Storybook Love // Todd Ratchford-Matt Bax // 25-1 9-Frattina Diablo S // Tim Tetrick-Tony Alagna // 25-1 10-Madam Cheval // Tim Tetrick-Nancy Takter // 25-1 $1,000,000 Hambletonian No. 101 FINAL | 3YO Trot 1-Minoan // TBA-Noel Daley // 25-1 2-It Could Be Worse // Scott Zeron-Linda Toscano // 8-1 3-Apex // Dexter Dunn-Marcus Melander // 5/2 4-Big Ranger // Tim Tetrick-Anette Lorentzon // 2-1 5-Captain Naughty // Jason Bartlett-Per Engblom // 15-1 6-AI // Yannick Gingras-Ron Burke // 12-1 7-Endurance // Andy McCarthy-Chris Beaver // 5-1 8-Magic Punk // Yannick Gingras-Ake Svanstedt // 15-1 9-Spencer Hanover // Jason Bartlett-Marcus Melander // 20-1 10-American Power // James MacDonald-Marcus Melander // 10-1
