from Harrah’s Philadelphia

Chester, PA — A Winner’s Over $25,000 Lifetime was the featured event on a beautiful Sunday afternoon (July 6) at Harrah’s Philadelphia.

The betting public slightly favored the Ron Burke entrant Ultimate Beachboy (7-5) who started from post three.

At the start, it was co-second favorites Word Power and Heston Blue Chip firing out for the lead, while the race favorite took back to settle in fifth. Heston Blue Chip finally cleared the lead from post eight, but only after a taxing :25.4 opening quarter.

The pace slowed, with a :29 second quarter, only to pick up again when Ultimate Beachboy emerged on the scene first over. Heston Blue Chip maintained the lead, however, and turned into the stretch one length clear.

Pocket sitter Word Power and longshot Rock On Moe made advances up the inside, but it was Heston Blue Chip holding on, stopping the clock in 1:50.3. Rock On Moe settled for second, while Word Power finished third.

Heston Blue Chip is owned by Ken Jacobs, trained by Linda Toscano, and was one of five driving wins on the day for Tim Tetrick.
