CHESTER PA – There were two quartets of features at a sweltering Harrah’s Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon: four $12,600 events for climbing-the-ladder horses, and four $11,700 two-year-old paces, including three for fillies eight days ahead of their first PA Sire Stakes/Stallion Series action, taking place here.
It looks like Let It Ride Stables Inc. should be anticipating the freshman pacing filly stakes season, as they were co-owners of all three of Wednesday’s winners, with their Pennsylvania-sired filly Heartbreak Hotel posting the fastest time of the trio, 1:53.1. Dexter Dunn let the daughter of Sweet Lou – Love Canal (a $600G winner) roll on the front end in splits of :27.4, :56.4, and 1:24, then continued on for a 1:53.1 success in her purse bow for trainer Nifty Norman; Let It Ride shares ownership of this miss with Bottom Line Racing LLC.
