CHESTER PA – The Bar Hopping sophomore gelding World Bank rallied from the pocket to catch Ceffyl Dwr by a neck in winning the $14,400 featured trot at a cool, windy, and soggy Harrah’s Philadelphia Friday in a lifetime best 1:56.1.
Ceffyl Dwr headed right down the road from an inner draw and put up splits of :29, :58.1, and 1:27.3 over an oval that had just been downgraded to “good +2” before the race; Marcus Miller got World Bank into the two-hole, waited until the stretch, and then closed late to post the 15-1 upset for trainer Steve Le Blanc and owner Dr. William Solomon.
There were two divisions of a $12,600 co-feature; the event on the trot saw the Sebastian K S sophomore filly R Speed Of Light make an uncovered move at the speed of light against the wind to get the lead down the backstretch, then trot off to a 4¾ length victory in 1:56.2, a lowering of his mark. Trainer/driver Todd Schadel co-owns the Pennsylvania fair circuit graduate with his wife Christine and Rick and Regina Beinhauer.
