Washington, PA — Saturday’s (July 25) Adios eliminations card at The Meadows was supported by three other compelling stakes that, along with the elims, comprised 13 of the 15 races. Yannick Gingras and trainer Ron Burke each scored five times in those stakes while Tim Tetrick enjoyed a stake four-bagger. Highlights from Saturday’s stakes:

Manhattan Beach paced to a stake-record 1:51.1 score in a PASS for 2-year-old colt & gelding pacers.

Manhattan Beach zipped to the lead for Tetrick and rolled home in a stake-record 1:51.1, bettering the mark of 1:52 held jointly by Limelight Beach and Seventh Secret. Sossy’s King Kong was second, 1-1/2 lengths back, with McPhil third. Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, Geoffrey Lyons Mound and Wingfield Brothers campaign the Somebeachsomewhere-Benear gelding, a full brother to the former record-holder, Limelight Beach, winner of the 2014 Little Brown Jug.

Check Six powered to the point with a quarter-pole move for Gingras and held off the late thrust of McDave to down him by a neck in 1:52.3, with Mr Right Hanover third. Burke trains the son of Somebeachsomewhere-Southwind Vanna for owners Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi, William Switala and James Martin.

“That was a horse race down the stretch — he wouldn’t let them go by him,” Gingras said. “He has all kinds of potential, He has the size, a nice gait, speed and guts. He has the package. Pacing colts are a little fickle at this stage. In another month, they’ll separate the men from the boys.”

Do Over Hanover pulled the pocket down the backside to avoid the faltering leader, Genovese, and held off Another Daily Copy by a neck to triumph in 1:52.4. Allie’s Cruiser earned show.

“He’s very versatile and good mannered,” said Jim Campbell, who trains the son of Western Ideal-Driven To Sin — a $25,000 yearling acquisition — for Jeffrey Snyder, Michael Snyder and Robert Unice. “I’ll give him a week or two off because he’s gone hard the last three weeks. We’ll probably get him ready for the next sires stake leg.”

Spider Man Hanover and The Catamount Kid took the other Albatross divisions.

The Romola Hanover, $182,016 PASS, 3-Year-Old Filly Pacers

Doctor Terror unleashed a huge uncovered bid from sixth that carried her to victory in 1:50.4 for Corey Callahan and trainer Blake MacIntosh, who owns the daughter of Western Terror-Doctor Seth with Stuart McIntosh.

$60,000 PA Stallion Series – 3-Year-Old Filly Pacers

Off a layoff of more than two months, Dobre Povedane matched Icommandmyspirit’s stake record of 1:51.3 when she followed cover and brushed home to defeat Lean On Yourself by 1-3/4 lengths, with Angel Or Terror third. Callahan drove for trainer John Butenschoen and owners David Prushnok and John Prushnok.

“We thought she could use a little time,” said Tyler Butenschoen, the winner’s assistant trainer. “She raced good her last race but maybe seemed a little sore afterward. Nothing major, but we gave her a little time, and she trained back great. I expected her to race good, but a 1:51.3 mile was an eye-opener.”
