Wiggle It Jiggleit, undefeated in 11 career races, strengthened his hold on No. 1 following his six length, 1:49.2 win in his North America Cup elimination last weekend at Mohawk Racetrack. In The Arsenal vaulted from seventh to third thanks to his own elim triumph in 1:49.4.
Older female trotter Bee A Magician, who won her elimination for the Armbro Flight Stakes in a Canadian-record 1:51.1, remained No. 2 in the rankings.
The only newcomer to join the Top 10 this week is Canepa Hanover, a 3-year-old male trotter who won his elimination for the Goodtimes Stakes by 11-1/2 lengths in a track-record-equaling 1:51.3 at Mohawk.
