Titan Cup at the Meadowlands Racetrack

Arch Madness will make his first start since May’s Elitlopp when he faces five foes Friday, June 24 in a prep race for the Titan Cup at the Meadowlands Racetrack.

Ten older trotters entered the Titan Cup, so eliminations are unnecessary.  Arch Madness will start the prep from Post 6 and will be joined by, from the rail, Buck I St Pat, Pilgrims Chuckie, Enough Talk, Slave Dream, and Four Starz Speed. Skipping the prep, but participating in the $235,000 Titan Cup final on July 2, will be Corleone Kosmos, Lucky Jim, Neighsay Hanover, and Sir Caviar.

Arch Madness has won five of six races this year and earned $341,545. He won three times in the U.S. before heading overseas and winning the $480,647 Oslo Grand Prix on May 15. He then won his elimination for the Elitlopp, on May 29 in Sweden, before finishing sixth in the same-day final.

“He seems good,” trainer Trond Smedshammer said. “He came back from Sweden real good; good and sound, healthy. The only thing that I could see that went wrong over there is it looked like he tied up a little bit for the Elitlopp. That’s the only thing I could see that was wrong there.”
A seven-year-old gelding, Arch Madness has won 24 of 64 career races and earned $2.8 million for owners Marc Goldberg and Willow Pond.
