The trotter started in lower open company, competing primarily in open two as his Saratoga career began, occasionally dropping down into condition races in the midst of a solid season in which the then five yr old tallied just shy of $40,000 in earnings.
Laurenzo, an owner who has horses with a few different trainers, moved his prize trotter into the barn of last year's leading trainer Jackie Rousse.
This season got off to a great start for Prime Interest as he wound up posting a dazzling mile in his first try in 2008.
While still in the condition ranks, the now six yr old drew the rail for what would turn out to be a ten length, wire to wire romp. Frank Coppola Jr has assumed the driving role for Rousse and Prime Interest which looked to be a good combination as they hit three quarters in a head strong 1:26.4 over an off track en route to the victory.
This win would only scratch the surface though for what was about to come for the talented trotter.
Winning out of the condition meant it was back to the opens for Prime Interest and despite drawing outside posts, he would be second in back to back races in open two.
The final quarters for the two starts on the outside were actually better than those when the high stepper has cut the mile.
Two weeks ago, Prime Interest drew the rail and would be released as a 1-9 shot. Winning like a big favorite should, Prime Interest made every pole a winning one, reporting home by two lengths in 1:58.3, matching his fastest win since coming to the Spa.
The only downside to winning the $12,000 open two is that now the competition would get fierce for Prime Interest as he would be forced to jump up into the Friday feature and take on the other top trotters in the open.
Last Friday night was the first shot at the feature this season for Prime Interest and with the morning line favorite scratched, the door was open for the red hot trotter to get the job done.
In order to come up with the feature win, he would have to best the mare Oh Oh Its Magic, the 4-5 favorite in the Friday tilt and Armbro Barrister, the classmaster who is still on the comeback trail in the
A first over journey was in the cards for Coppola and Prime Interest, a trip they have thrived with in previous starts.
While overland on Armbro Barrister, Prime Interest flashed an impressive burst of speed to power past and draw away being followed by the favorite Oh Oh Its Magic.
With plenty left in the tank, Prime Interest was not only a winner but seemed to be wrapped up at the wire to take his first open trot.
The year is off to a glowing start for the Self Possessed gelding, quickly asserting himself as one of the top local trotters and has become a force to be reckoned with in the open trots.
The big run to start the season for Prime Interest is just one in quite a long chain of horses who are off to great starts for leading trainer Jackie Rousse.
Following the open trot win for Prime Interest, was the open two.
Puissant, a runner up in back to back feature trots, took a drop down and was assigned post eight for the Friday race.
Post eight, no problem.
Wire to wire for Puissant and Coppola in open two, the third driving win on the card for Coppola and a training double for Rousse.
They would team up for another winner later in the program but the horse would subsequently be disqualified after making a break in the stretch.
Another Rousse trainee Play Of The Day was released as the odds-on favorite again on Sunday afternoon seeking his fifth straight win.
A wire to wire win resulted in the fourth Saratoga victory in a row for the claiming pacer as he took over the lead as the winningest horse at the meet thus far through the first six weeks of the season.
Only a couple of races later, Wealth Of Nations scored his fourth victory at the meet for the Coppola-Rousse combo going wire to wire to complete a big weekend for the leaders in the driver and trainer standings, respectively.

This week
As tough as it is for a horse to win from post eight, especially on a half mile track, the horse starting from the outside still needs to garner a look.
Though difficult to overcome post eight, a horse is bound to be all kinds of value when saddled with the tough task from the outside.
Oftentimes a horse that would normally be one of the favorites gets totally discounted just because he has the eight post. Though it is known as the "great neutralizer," post eight doesn
When posed with a situation where the best or one of the best horses has the eight post, simply watch the board.
You can make a good case to bet against them because of their post so if favored, you may want to look elsewhere.
On the other hand, if the best horse has the eight hole and goes off at decent odds, this is a golden opportunity to get, say, 3-1 or 4-1 on a horse that may be 3-5 or 4-5 from a better post.
Twice last weekend we saw this situation present itself. The afore mentioned Puissant was second in two straight opens and dropped to open two.
What if he had draw, for example, the 3 hole?
He
Having post eight bumped up his value to 4-1 for a horse who clearly looked best on paper.
Bookish Hanover was dropping from a $20,000 claiming pace, from which she was claimed, into a condition but had bad luck of the draw. Flashing early speed gave Bookish Hanover a good trip which ultimately resulted in a win at 9-2.
Again, from a different post, the mare would have been either the favorite or close to it. Watch the eight hole value before making your final wager and sometimes you can steal a good price.

EADS in the third exhibition on display at the MAKO fighter trainer plane model
Editor s note: 2002 will be published in the section 12 weapons knowledge will be Europe, Mark (MAKO) trainer for details. Below is the text of the summary.
EADS company tomorrow s stars - Mark (MAKO) jet coach / fighter
European Aeronautic Defence and Space (EADS) company from 2005 to 2025 among the world s advanced trainer and light combat aircraft conducted a survey of the market that there will be demand for 2,500 to 3,000, begin developing the Mark two-seater High single-seater trainer and light combat aircraft.
Tortuous plan
Mark developed very experienced twists and turns. It was initially named as AT-2000, by the Italian Aermacchi and the German Aerospace Corporation joint development, in April 1989 and set up a program. Later in 1994 Aermacchi withdraw from DaimlerChrysler - Mercedes-Benz Aerospace Corporation to take over. AT-2000 in Seoul in October 1996 to appear on the air show that South Korea was selected, but in the end lost T/A-50 Golden Eagle coach / fighter. In 1998 the African air show, in South Africa it as a light fighter aircraft on display competition, but lost the JAS-39 Gripen. At the end of 1998, AT-2000 was renamed Mark. November 18, 1999 at the air show in Dubai, the UAE Air Force signed a memorandum of understanding to join the scheme. Probably out of prudence considerations, the United Arab Emirates also signed the F-16 Desert Falcon program.
EADS this year, the company plans to Mark project alone invested hundreds of millions of euros in an attempt to pre-2007 production of a prototype can be used for the test.
Double capacity
Mark basic design has been scheduled. The aircraft 13.75 meters long, 4.5 meters high, has a wingspan of 8.25 meters, wing area of 25 square metres. Coach air-5800 kg, design takeoff weight of 8,100 kg, 3,000 kg contained oil. Combat air-6200 kg, design takeoff weight of 9,400 kg, 3,300 kg contained oil, the biggest load of bombs 4,500 kg, a maximum takeoff weight of 13,000 kg. Although the engine has not been determined, but in body structure and the design of flight control systems have been taken into account when the thrust vector technology. Flight training in the implementation of its mandate, licensing engine power in the 60 KN (not open Afterburner)
KN (open Afterburner) between. But according to user needs, can also install 90 KN thrust of the engine. Mark has taken into account air refueling, single-and coach-installed retractable air by the tubing.
Mark type two-seater coach since its first public appearance after appearance has done some minor changes, the latest of which was related to the cockpit cover. In the new open-cockpit, rear hatch after the top drag, the former hatch and the windshield was dragging along the opposite direction to the fuselage above the former. In the original design, the overall fixed windshield with the head of the hinged, an enormous brown-covered cabin after the cockpit, open to the starboard side of valgus.
Despite the Mark in the initial design orientation is a senior trainer, but now more and more people value it as a light aircraft functions, and has been presented as a prototype. All the Mark coach / fighter planes are the weapons are seven pieces, two in the wingtips, four in the wings, one in the bottom fuselage. Two wings and fuselage beneath the medial rack rack can be used to mount the drop tanks or 1 350 kg and cruise missiles. Rack mount lateral wings can be 675 kg and cruise missiles, wingtips rack can only be used to link air-to-air missile.
Flexible cabin
Users can optimize their wishes, Mark in the cockpit - Machine Interface and the flight control system. EADS company in the 2001 Paris Air Show the first time the public display of a new type of cockpit samples. Dubai air show in November last year on the display of the Mark cockpit model sample (MCD) have been separated into two independent front cabin and the back. A steering column before the cabin layout, accelerator-and-up display, etc. equipment designed cockpit display the current level of the latest technology.
MCD the back of the virtual reality technology is based on the manufacture, only the installation of a steering column and a throttle rod. The equipment used only for display and sale publicity, the virtual device includes a digital helmets, gloves and a figure with a central computer linked to the tracking system. Visual outside the cockpit and the cabin layout to digital projectors have helmets, gloves pilots through digital interaction with the cockpit. A plasma monitors will be staff to see the back of virtual reality screen presentation to the cockpit personnel. To the back of the cockpit, the layout of display options, the company EADS at the same time as virtual reality research laboratory development - Machine Interface support, and virtual reality technology that is a cockpit developed an effective tool. Perhaps this technology is the most important function of the cockpit display design technology development direction, if necessary, only on the relatively simple software change, do not waste time and money to re-layout of a real cockpit. The design plan will be revised and verified.
Fuzzy prospects
Although the designers expected to produce a Mark coach / fighter prototype to a very long time, but also enable it to use the latest avionics equipment and cockpit design. In Europe, Mark of the two rival Jacques M-346 and -130 Although there is no supersonic performance, but in some respects, and also to the Mark competition. Jacques -130 has now become a priority in the Russian Air Force MiG-- AT consider new advanced trainer, to promote its future in the world is very favorable. M-346 will be produced this year, the first flight is expected in 2003, than the Mark of the maiden flight plan four years ahead of time. EADS also admitted that senior coach / fighter planes in Europe demand is not very great, and Mark must be able to sell more than 400 can be profitable. However, the world in the service of the senior trainer, 65% of the over 25 life, Mark is opportunity.
However, the potential user base of the Mark in the area of high transonic remaining power units approval is to determine the M-346 (and possibly Jacques -130), and Mark the result of the competition as a key factor. Whether it s trainer or the light aircraft, the performance is very important. Seattle performance with the South Korean T/A-50 Golden Eagle in August 20, 2002 flight, it is clear this will be some advantages. Golden Eagle in the price of the estimated 1,800 to between 22 million US dollars, and Mark initial valuation in 1500 to 22 million US dollars between. Price is determined both aircraft market prospects for the important factors, but the design may be superior to the Mark surpass.
