Chester, PA – The Bolt The Duer gelding Imoutthedoor, a star in Iowa at two and three, is continuing his development on the East Coast at four, taking the $14,400 featured pace at Harrah’s Philadelphia on Friday (April 29) afternoon while lowering his mark by almost three seconds to 1:51.1.

Tim Tetrick (whose three triumphs on the day led all drivers) hustled the 21-time career winner to the lead before the :27.4 opening quarter, then ceded the lead to the brushing favorite Meet The Creeper, who led the field through the next two splits in :56.1 and 1:23.3. It was just these two who stood a chance as they turned for home, and Imoutthedoor was full of pace after the dream journey, winning by 1-3/4 lengths for trainer Rob Harmon and owner Cathy Dessert.

The $11,200 fast-class pace saw the Well Said gelding Daddyofemall well-placed off a speedy duel, then swinging wide to gain contention nearing the three-quarters and going on to victory in 1:52. Daddyofemall held off the late move of 74-1 shot Mr Censi by 1-1/2 lengths, with favored Seventh Secret unable to last on the lead on after fighting through fractions of :26.4, :54.1, and 1:22.2, settling for third. Daddyofemall, now a winner of $262,924, was driven by Simon Allard for trainer Joseph Columbo and George & Tina Dennis Racing.

Sunday’s (May 1) feature at Harrah’s will be a $22,500 handicap distaff pace, with Majorca N, undefeated after four North American starts, assigned the outside in the field of six. After the 12:40 card Sunday, Harrah’s will be dark on Wednesday (May 4) for the last time in the early part of the year, and there is a special Kentucky Derby Day card live at 12:40 on May 7.
