FAST-CLASS PACERS HIGHLIGHTED ON "HYBRID" FRIDAY CARD; NO RACING THIS EASTER SUNDAY
With Harrah's Philadelphia dark for racing this Sunday, Easter Sunday (April 16), the Friday card has become sort of a hybrid card between the races used usually on Friday and Sunday, with more males than usual in action on Friday. Today's feature is the seventh race, with a full field of nine pacers going after a purse of $15,000, and on paper it looks like the horses on the lefthand side of the starting gate will draw the most attention. There are also two $13,000 races for the fast-class pacers in slots five and nine, and two $11,500 pacing events for fillies and mares -- with the ninth figuring to be the more exciting of those two contests.
