Chester, PA – Unraced at 2 and slow to get going at 3, He’s Packin is beginning to show that Team Cancelliere’s waiting on him may be worthwhile, as the sophomore posted his second straight win on Wednesday (June 26) in Harrah’s $14,000 featured pace, lowering his mark to 1:50.4.

Andrew McCarthy sat fourth with the Western Ideal gelding out of Power Pack Hanover, whose own dam has produced six $200,000 plus performers, as favorite Scirocco Mistysaid made an early brush to the lead going by the quarter in :27.3, with the winner, a close second choice, moving outside uncovered nearing the :56.1 half.

He’s Packin scorched a :26.2 individual third quarter to take over by the 1:23 three-quarters and stayed strong to the wire, 6-1/2 lengths clear of nearest challenger Jessica’s Beach Boy for the brother team of Tom and John Cancelliere. Pennsylvania’s pari-mutuel Sire Stakes and Stallion Series for 2-year-olds beginning next week, Philly has carded several races for them this week, with three $13,000 events for pacers today.

The faster of two events for males rewrote a North American season’s record that had been recorded less than five hours earlier 100 miles to the north of Philly, as the Captaintreacherous and Charisma Hanover colt Hey Run Me Over fronted his field in fractions of :28.3, :58, and 1:26.2, finishing out in 1:54.1 to take a tick off Keystone Dash’s mark set in a Pocono morning qualifying session.

Already a qualifier winner in 1:57.2 for trainer Rollie Mallar, co-owner with Linwood Higgins and Patrick Leavitt, Hey Run Me Over dropped more than three seconds off that clocking here for driver Andrew McCarthy in defeating Lou’s Sweetrevenge by a length.

Hunter Hill, a Somebeachsomewhere – Ali Blue colt, recorded his second pari-mutuel victory.  Hunter Hill, a three-quarter sister to Blue Ivy, who will race in the $300,000 James M. Lynch Memorial at Pocono on Saturday (June 29), quarter-moved for Tim Tetrick, then sprinted home in :56.3 with :27.4 on the end of it for trainer Chris Oakes and the ownership of Tom Hill, Northfork Racing Stable and John Craig.

In the lone pacing filly event, Cowgirl Lilly came on the grind at the five-eighths with her own third quarter in :27.4, then chased down pacesetter Mbt by 2-1/4 lengths in a 1:54.4 mile. A daughter of Western Ideal and Sand Speed and a half-sister to millionaire Speed Again, Cowgirl Lilly followed up on her 1:55.4 qualifying win at Philly last week for Tim Tetrick, who wound up the day with four winners, driving for trainer Jim King Jr. and owner Jo Ann Looney-King.
