Market Share and Linda Toscano made history Saturday, August 4 at the Meadowlands winning the 87th edition of the Hambletonian for three-year-old trotting colts in 1:52.1. Toscano became the first female trainer to win the prestigious $1.5 million event with the Revenue S colt, a $16,000 yearling purchase. It was also the first Hambo win for driver Tim Tetrick, and proved sweet redemption after a miscue one race earlier in the Oaks.
