T C I aims for history in Crown

Hightstown, NJ — T C I has the opportunity to become the sport’s richest-ever 2-year-old on Friday when he competes against nine rivals in the $700,000 Breeders Crown final for rookie male trotters at Harrah’s Hoosier Park, but in the eyes of trainer Ron Burke, a victory would give the colt another distinction.

“If he can win, one, he’s beaten a great horse in Karl and a real nice field; and two, I think it makes him the best 2-year-old of all time,” Burke said. “That’s saying a lot, but he’s gone and done everything that’s been asked of him.”
