Headlining this year's group of nominees is the Dan Patch Award winner and undefeated He's Watching, who set two world records last season along with six track records for trainer and co-owner David Menary. The son of American Idealboasts a 1:50 speed badge along with $291,722 in earnings.
According to Menary, the talented pacer is set to make his 2014 debut this Friday or Monday in a qualifying appearance at Mohawk Racetrack.
Luck Be Withyou, the 2013 Breeders Crown champion, is also on the list and one of the early favorites for the race.
