WILKES-BARRE PA – Three three-year-olds, all well-pedigreed but all maidens at two, may show more sign of their bloodlines at three if wins during Wednesday morning qualifiers at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania are any indication.
The Cantab Hall colt Hatfield, a full brother to the $1.8-million winner T C I, moved to the lead down the backstretch and went on to win in 1:57.3. Driver Jason Bartlett was successful three times during the morning session, and the trotter was one of two winning teamings of Bartlett and trainer Andrew Harris.
The other Bartlett / Harris success came with the filly Treacheryinthedark, a daughter of Captaintreacherous and a three-quarter sister to the million dollar winner Seven Colors. Treacheryinthedark gained through most of the last half and stepped her last quarter in :28.1 in posting a 1:56.2 victory.
Fastest of all the sophomores on the day was the Always B Miki gelding Lifeblood, whose second dam produced American Jewel ($1.8M+) and Luck Bewith You ($1.4M+). Lifeblood put out a back half of :56.3 to triumph in 1:54.3 for driver Braxten Boyd and trainer Hunter Oakes.
The Sweet Lou gelding No Trespassing was not a maiden entering the day – he took a mark of 1:51.1 winning a Simpson Stake here last year. He just missed tying the fastest three-year-old clocking by a tick, producing :27.4 final quarter speed in winning for driver Scott Zeron and trainer Deborah Daguet.
Fastest of all the winners in the morning set was the veteran Always A Virgin gelding Virgo, who came home in :54.3 to win in 1:53 to give Hunter Oakes another success on the day and complete Jason Bartlett’s triple.
