CHESTER PA – The two-year-old pacing colt Captain Groovy saw his bid to win all four of his Pennsylvania Stallion Series preliminaries look good for much of the stretch at Harrah’s Philadelphia on Wednesday – until he got a bit tired late and was caught by $256.00 shock winner Keystone Dash in 1:53.4.
The Sweet Lou – Keystone Dawn colt Keystone Dash did dash away quickly at the start from post seven and had the lead well before the :27.1 opener for Andrew McCarthy. Captain Groovy, starting just to his outside, was patiently guided up to command in front of the stands, and his swift stepping past the middle poles of :56 and 1:25 seemed to have paid off as most of the competition had melted off by the far turn.
