The storied harness racing pacer Southwind Amazon enters MGM Northfield Park's ninth race on Monday (January 13) with $998,216 in career earnings.
A first, second or third place finish will yield more than the $1,784 needed to add a second comma to his earnings. Finishing in the top-three appears to be more than attainable for the 88-time winner.
Southwind Amazon has been assigned post-6 in Monday's $15,000 Open Pace and is the 9-5 morning-line favorite.
Chris Page has been named to drive by Southwind Amazon's trainer Paul Holzman. The 10-year-old son of Camluck is owned by Ameer Najor of West Bloomfield, Michigan.
