Al Papi became the fastest ever 2-year-old pacing colt on a five-eighths-mile track by virtue of his 1:49.2 win in the first of two $69,182 divisions of the Tyler B, a Pennsylvania Sire Stakes event for male rookie pacers, held Thursday (Aug. 21) at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows. Frantic Hanover captured the other split in a lifetime best 1:50 to remain undefeated and give trainer Ron Burke a sweep of the day’s marquee events.
