BEYER GUIDES LONGSHOT GINGERTREE STAKIAS TO FEATURE WIN AT PHILLY

CHESTER PA – Troy Beyer, who’s been King Of The Harrah’s Philadelphia Longshot Drivers in the second half of this year, struck again in the $14,400 featured trot on Wednesday afternoon, guiding Gingertree Stakias to an $87.60 upset while equaling his mark of 1:57. 
 
The Explosive Matter gelding got away last from the outside post eight, then was hustled out and up by Beyer before the half to reach third-over position. When his cover stalled midturn, Beyer sent Gingertree Stakias three-wide and moved into contention; favored Keeper Of Secrets went inside pacesetting Big Sky Ex for the late drive, but Gingertree Stakias still got the job done for trainer/owner Jim Groff, with Keeper Of Secrets a head back and Big Sky Ex a length in arrears of those two.
​Beyer has burnt out quite a few bulbs on the tote board: the 26-year-old driver, having by far his best season both here at Philly and overall, has now brought home seven horses that have paid $50 or more to win –no other driver has more than three such horses to his or her credit at the riverside oval.
 
The top-level fast-class pace of the day went to the veteran Bettor’s Delight gelding Mike’s Z Tam in 1:51.4. After letting Indigo Art get to the top early, trainer/driver Pat Lachance moved the winner of $563,942 back to command, then breezed home in :55.2 firmly in control. Lachance also co-owns the winner with Z Tam Stables LLC, M & M Harness Racing LLC, and Royal Flush Stables LLC.
 
A $15,300 trotting event for horses winning their way up the classladder will be the featured event at Philly tomorrow; the early favorite is Dazzling Reign, who has raced only once since September 30 but has been consistently close against classy three-year-old stakes fillies.
