Chester, PA – Tim Tetrick, the leading driver at Harrah’s Philadelphia, continued on his recent hot streak with five wins on the Wednesday (August 14) afternoon card, winning the featured trot, along with one of the two co-featured paces, and just getting nosed out in the other co-feature.

The richest purse of the day was a $16,000 trot, which was taken by Captain Morgan, a four-year-old son of Cantab Hall who is lightly raced, but has shown much promise. Here Tetrick sent the winner of two straight right to the lead, put up fractions of :27.2, :56.1, and 1:25.1 over a track that had been reclassified as “fast” after earlier rain had evaporated, then dug in to handle a last quarter threat from pocket-sitter Lapped By Lindy to get to the finish line by a half -length to the good in 1:54.3.

Staffan Lind trains the developing winner for Lind Racing Stable LLC, Bender Sweden Inc., Roy Holth, and Kemppisuojalampistable.

The Well Said three-year-old gelding Brassy Hanover, second in the Hempt Championship behind Shake That House but is also still eligible to a non-winner of three races lifetime, showed his class in his $14,000 pacing co-feature, taking a new mark of 1:50.4 by an 11 length margin. Eric Good owns the Eddie Dennis trainee.

Favored V O Joe took the other $14,000 co-feature in 1:53.4 for driver George Napolitano Jr., but not until Joe McDude and Tetrick rapidly closed ground to be only a half-length shy at the wire. Napolitano appeared to have the distance to the wire measured with the Somebeachsomewhere sophomore gelding, with the pacer making it two straight for trainer Robert Cleary and the ownership of Allen Wenc and Joseph Hughes.
