Chester, PA — Hundred Dollar Man, a pacing colt from the first crop of sire Lather Up, paced in 1:55 for driver Montrell Teague, the regular pilot of Lather Up, and trainer/owner Brenda Teague during the Tuesday morning (June 13) 2-year-old qualifiers at Harrah’s Philadelphia.

Out of the dam Whirl The Girl, Hundred Dollar Man led at every pole, coming home in :55.2 to win the faster of two events for his division.

Team Teague also won the other pacing colt section, with Hustle Up, another son of Lather Up out of Hustle Hard, who paced his own back half in :57.2 in hanging up a 1:59.1 final time.

In the companion filly ranks, a familiar combination behind a fast distaff — driver Tim Tetrick and trainer Jim King Jr. — sent out Lyons Legend, a daughter of Stay Hungry–Skinny Dip who came from behind with individual back fractions of :55.4-:27.3 to win in 1:57 for Threelyonsracing.

A mention also goes to Blue Point (1:57.2, Huntsville–Amber Blue Chip), who now has two successful tarts under her girth.

Fastest of the 2-year-old trotters was Tandem Hanover, a daughter of Walner-Think Twice and thus a full sister to the top stakes colt performer Temporal Hanover ($972,166). She won on the engine in 1:58.3, last half :57.3, for owners William Pollock, Bruce Areman, and A Harris Racing LLC. Driver Andrew McCarthy had four victories with the freshmen, three of them including this one for trainer Andrew Harris.

The trotting males were led by the Walner-Religulous colt Legal Scholar, another McCarthy-Harris team-up who was victorious in 2:01.1, last half :58.2 for the Pollock/Areman/Harris team which sent out Tandem Hanover; that combine also clicked with pacing filly Donegal Spirit (Captaintreacherous–Lu’s Illusion), a 1:58.4 winner.

Also worth a mention in the trotting colt division are the Bar Hopping–Southwind Angel gelding Rise, a 2:02.3 winner and Greenspan, from the first crop of Greenshoe out of Firm To Stay, a winner in 2:02.2.
