Chester PA — Driver Andrew McCarthy was the prime producer of 2-year-old speed during baby morning qualifiers at Harrah’s Philadelphia Tuesday (July 2), directing two pacing colts in 1:55.3 and a first-time trotting colt starter to a 2:01.2 win, fastest for the day on their respective gaits.

Goldin Kid was put on the lead by McCarthy and went on to a 1:55.3 clocking for trainer Kelvin “Red” Harrison, who also co-owns with Howard Taylor. The Art Major colt is out of Crazy Luv Bug.

McCarthy then came back with Tito Rocks, a Sweet Lou gelding out of the millionaire Ticket To Rock. The 1:55.3 front-end mile of Tito Rocks for trainer Robert Cleary and owner Royal Wire Products Inc.

Loyal Fox Hanover was able to trot to a 2:01.2 clocking in his first qualifying effort. The Andover Hall colt out of Lady Luck Hanover trotted the third quarter-mile in :28.1 raw to move into contention for McCarthy and then drew clear. Chuck Sylvester trains and is co-owner with Steve Jones, Mary Kinsey Arnold, and Paul Bordogna.

Although McCarthy drove the fastest winners on the day, he was not the winningest driver, as 24-year-old Troy Beyer crossed the wire first with four freshmen: a trotter of each sex trained by Julie Miller, and a pair of pacing fillies trained by Tom Fanning. Driver Eric Carlson and trainer Ross Croghan also combined for a pacing victory with a member of each sex.
