Chester, PA — The Yankee Glide gelding Yankees Beast, a noted closer, rode his preferred second-over trip to victory in the $13,600 feature on Thursday (Nov. 5) at Harrah’s Philadelphia.

Marcus Miller swung the Anette Lorentzon trainee three-wide on the far turn and overhauled pacesetter MacMorris Hanover by a length to win in 1:54.3. Patriarch Hanover, who was parked a long way before making the lead and then surrendering it to MaCmorris Hanover, was third, another three-quarters of a length behind. Anna Kristina Lorentzon owns Yankees Beast, who won two of his last three starts.

Since arriving in the Pat Lachance barn from Ohio at the end of August, the 3-year-old Sebastian K S filly Rosalie Swan has quickly taken to her new surroundings. She ran her current winning streak to four with a 1:55 score in the $12,800 co-feature, where she moved out from third before the three-quarters for trainer-driver Lachance and went right to the lead en route to a 1-1/4-length triumph for owner Helen Duer.

The Muscle Hill gelding Goes Down Smooth didn’t get the lead until nearing the half in the $11,600 top fast-class trot, but there was no stopping him from there as he drew away to tally by three lengths in 1:52.4. Tony Morgan drove the winner of $289,215 for trainer Ron Burke and the partnership of Burke Racing Stable LLC and Weaver Bruscemi LLC, Bill Switala and James Martin.

Post time for Friday’s (Nov. 6) card at Harrah’s Philadelphia is 2:05 p.m.
