The first Top Ten Poll of the 2020 harness racing season came out today with the unbeaten four-year-old trotting stallion Gimpanzee on top of the leader poll. Last year's 2019 Dan Patch Harness Horse of the Year, Shartin N, who was #1 in the Top Ten Poll the entire season, is undefeated after two starts yet was ranked #7 in the first poll of 2020.
