CHESTER PA – Pacers dominated the Tuesday morning qualifying action for two-year-olds at Harrah’s Philadelphia, with four events for each sex being carded.
Fastest youngster of the day was the Captaintreacherous – Rockingcam Park colt Renegade Hanover, who had the lead throughout after starting from the rail and coming home in :57- :28.1 in a 1:57 mile. The youngster is owned by Polie Mallar, David Fraser Sr., Dennis Osterholt, and Thaddeus Wier; trainer Mallar teamed with driver Troy Beyer for two of the four sections for males, while the other two were won by the father-son team of driver Patrick and trainer Chris Ryder.
Speaking of father-son combos – Captaintreacherous also was the sire of two of the filly pace winners, and his son Captain Crunch sired the other two. Fastest of the fillies was the Captain Crunch filly Buneas Dias, going coast-to-coast in 1:57.1 - :57.2 - :28.3 for driver Russell Foster, trainer Eli Scott Jr., and the partnership of Eli Scott Racing LLC, Barry Mandell, and Larry Brown.
Coming through the stretch of the final filly contest, it was apparent that Chris Ryder was going to get a third training credit, but one could not be sure with whom – Renegade Hanover (driven by Pat Ryder) or Rascal Robbie (driven by Beyer). In the end Treacherous Wings (Captaintreacherous-Alicorn) rallied from the pocket to catch her stablemate by a nose in 1:59.1 and make for a Ryder-Ryder triple.
Only three of the morning’s eleven qualifiers for two-year-olds were for trotters, and the most interesting of the three success stories was also the quickest winner. That was the filly Nobody Knows It, racing out of the pocket and coming home in 2:01.3 - :58.2 - :29 for driver Corey Callahan and trainer-owner Richard Hans.
When you mention “Richard Hans” the words “Googoo Gaagaa” are usually not far behind, and such is the case here: Nobody Knows It is by Betting Gangster S, a $437G winner overseas whom Hans stands and who produced the 1:55.1f Maryland champion And Just Like That from his first crop. And Just Like That Is from the Googoo Gaagaa mare Goorateness, and Nobody Knows It is out of the Googoo Gaagaa mare Goo Luck Charm.
