I suppose Marketplace and Got The Chocolates would have to be contenders this year as well, though I don't know how they would fit in to the slot holders for Cambridge

Are any of those slot holders not connected directly to harness racing, first year Hydroflow and Senz has slots, Senz were fly by nighters,.

TAJ MAHAL (c, 3, Nyquist–Oola Gal {SP, $117,257}, by Quality Road) was made the 3-2 favorite for this unveiling after posting a series of strong works over the track for trainer Brittany Russell. Out slowly and finding himself last in the early stages, he navigated to the outside of runners entering the far bend and was rolling with a full head of steam from five wide as they swung for home. Taking command not long after as Sir George (Street Sense) tried to make a race of it, Taj Mahal drew off from that one to win by 4 1/4 lengths. The victor is the second to get a picture taken from as many to the races for the dam, a stakes-placed half-sister to the mother of SW Baby Max (Maximus Mischief). Oola Gal has a juvenile full-sister to Taj Mahal in the wings who RNA'd at the Keeneland September sale last year for $375,000 as well as a yearling filly by Upt to the Mark. She is due to Arabian Knight for 2026. 3rd-Laurel, $47,705, Msw, 2-6, 3yo, 6f, 1:12.42, ft, 4 1/4 lengths.
