CHESTER PA – One of the most unexpected finishes in recent harness racing history transpired at Harrah’s Philadelphia during race five on the Thursday afternoon card, when Pittstop Kip closed to win by a neck – and paid $447.00 for a $2 win ticket. Second was 86-1 shot What That Is, with the 3-5 favorite and the 5-2 second choice in the last two spots after making breaks.
Favored Crazshana left from the rail but broke early, with Mr Cool Seaeyre N, who had stayed right on the chalk’s back from the trailing post nine (1-for-98 to win at Harrah’s this year), finding himself in the unusual position of being on the early lead without a circling move. Down the backstretch second choice Chapter Fashion went up first-over, but just as he looked to be going to the lead he lost his gait, leaving second-over Pittstop Kip in a prime position. And the mega-longshot trotted on to withstand What That Is, who advanced wide in the stretch.
