Nor is the owners’ championship sewn up for the season. John Griggs currently leads the list with winnings of $107,935 from a string of five horses which have won seven victories. With his main winner, Steve Canyon, out for the season,' Mr. Griggs may soon slip from the number one slot.
Lurking quietly in the second position is William Pape who campaigns Flatterer, Polar Parallel and Polar Pleasure, three horses who are likely to do well this fall for their owner.
George Strawbridge’s Augustin Stables has had an unparalleled grip on the owners title for 11 of the last 12 years. This year, however, the master’s grip appears to be slipping as Augustin sits quietly in thirdplace with six jump and one flat win from his 14 starters and earnings of $67,958. Augustin’s leading money earner, Gateshead, is out for the year but Gogong, a stakes winner from New Zealand, is back in training and may be able to help his owners.
