Wilkes-Barre, PA — Broadway Paige, driven by David Miller, produced a new lifetime mark and just missed equaling the track record in winning the fourth and final division of the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes for 3-year-old trotting fillies Tuesday night (July 21) at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Trained by Brian Roland, Broadway Paige stopped the timer in 1:54.4, just one fifth of equaling the track record of Saorse.

Miller and Broadway Paige left from the two post and sat second or third through three-quarters of the race. Miller came first up down the backside to go after front-runner Caviar For The Lady (Charlie Norris), who took command from the seven hole, taking the field to the opening quarter in 28, 56.4 for the half and 1:25.2 for the three-quarters before finishing third behind the winner and Timlesswinner Two (Andy Miller).

David Miller also won another $60,000-plus Pennsylvania Sire Stakes race with 3-year-old filly All Star Hanover, overcoming the seven post for trainer Joe Holloway. In this race, All Star Hanover took the first quarter lead over Give N Take (Michel Lachance) with the timer reading 28.2, but the new leader at the half and three-quarters was Whispering Wind (Mike Simons) with the times being 58.1 and 1:27.

Whispering Wind was no match for All Star Hanover coming down the stretch as the winner won by six lengths with Give N take second and Whispering Wind third.

Eagle Score (Andy Miller) captured the opening division with a time of 1:56, winning by a nose over Valeris (Jacqueline Ingrassia) with third going to Hall Of Wishes (Andrew McCarthy).

Pleasing Lady, with Lachance, won another of the sire stakes divisions with a time of 1:56. Second in this race was Sea Raven (Tom Jackson) with third going to Rusty’s Centerfold (Kevin Sizer).

“I left hard with her (Pleasing Lady),” said Lachance. “I was a little concerned at the end of the race because she’s usually not strong. But she responded well and is a good mannered filly.”
