Chester, PA — Fabulous Fall Late Closer action continued at Harrah’s Chester Casino and Racetrack on Wednesday afternoon, November 28, with four divisions each of the Delaware County and the Constitution contested.

In the Delaware County for pacing mares, Ulrica Bromac N ($4.20) made her local debut a winning one, closing steadily throughout a 1:51.3 mile.

The 5-year-old daughter of Union Guy got away midpack, allowing Sweet Paprika (Daniel Dube) and Molly Darling (Cat Manzi) to set the pace, with the former cutting an opening quarter of :27.1. Tony Morgan moved to the outside with the Nat Varty trainee going into the bridge turn, following cover from Ireneonthemove (Andy Miller) past a half of :55.1. With Ireneonthemove grinding out a tough first-over trip, Ulrica Bromac N caught a perfect second-over trip to the three-quarters in 1:23.2. Morgan pulled three-wide through the turn, overtaking leader Molly Darling at the head of the stretch, and drawing clear by 1-1/4 lengths. Badlands Iron Lady (David Miller) earned show honors.

Other divisions of the Delaware County went to My Perfect Rhyme (1:53.1, Andy Miller), Day After Day (1:53, Cat Manzi) and Flo Found George (1:54.2, Tim Tetrick).

Four divisions of the Constitution were also contested for pacers under starter conditions. Fox Valley Armor (Yannick Gingras) took the fastest split of the afternoon, pacing the mile in virtually wire-to-wire fashion in 1:52.3.

Also winning their divisions were Ultimate Pursuit N (1:53, Daniel Dube), Racsan Nuke (1:53.1, Tim Tetrick) and Equinox Hanover (1:53.3, Daniel Dube).

The day after he broke the all-time single-season wins record for any driver, Tim Tetrick scored five wins on the program, bringing his total for the year to 1,085.
