EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Four Starzzz Shark, fresh from a record-setting victory, heads the field for the $700,000 William R. Haughton Memorial final Saturday night at the Meadowlands Racetrack.

Four Starzzz Shark won his elimination mile last week in 1:47 4/5, lowering the harness-racing record for older pacers.

Mike Lachance will drive the 6-year-old, who is the even-money favorite in the field of 10 in the richest race for older pacers.

Four Starzzz Shark, who won this race in 2002, will try to become the only repeat winner in Haughton history.

The elimination victory extended his winning streak to five, which is the most important consideration for trainer Dave Sabatelli.

``I'm not worried about records, just winning races,'' said Sabatelli.
Life Source wasn't far off the Shark's pace. He won the other elimination in 1:48 and is the 4-1 second choice with Cat Manzi set to drive.

The full field for the Haughton in post position order are Art's Chip, Four Starzzz Shark, Life Source, Royal Mattjesty, Peruvian Hanover, Allamerican Captor, Camcracker, Luckyisasluckydoes, Mini Me and Boulder Creek."
