CHESTER PA – The eleven-year-old Rock Of Cashel won his third straight at Harrah’s Philadelphia on Thursday afternoon, showing his heels to the field in 1:53.4 to take the $16,200 featured high-level trot.
 
Todd McCarthy settled the son of Majestic Son, the betting favorite, behind Lindsey’s Pride, who took control from the pole and put up fractions of :27.3, :57.3, and 1:25.3. McCarthy vacated the two-hole halfway through the far turn and easily trotted to the lead, winning by 3½ lengths over an inside-charging No Drama Please. Rock Of Cashel won for the 48th time in his career, and now has earnings of $788,054. Mark Harder trains the durable trotter for Joseph Jannuzzelli and Jeffery Ruch.
​“Pocket rocket” tactics were also used by the favored winner of the $14,400 co-feature, the Donato Hanover gelding So Long Hanover, who took a new mark of 1:54 while also holding off an inside rusher, Baldaquin, by a length. The victory was the fourth at this level within the last two months for So Long Hanover, who must now go up in class, having exceeded the $50,000 earnings barrier for trainer Scott Di Domenico and the ownership of Bottom Line Racing LLC and Triple D Stables Inc.
 
Tim Tetrick, the driver of So Long Hanover, widened his lead atop the Harrah’s driving colony by bringing fourhorses home first on Thursday.
 
Friday’s 12:25 card at Philly contains a pair of $12,600 features for up-and-coming younger horses and an $11,200 contest for the fast-class set. On Sunday, there will be a pair of $22,500 winners-over handicap paces, one for males and one for females. Program pages will be available at https://www.phha.org/harrahspps.html.
