Chester, PA — One week after a record-setting Super Stakes Sunday at Harrah’s Chester Casino and Racetrack, Clear Vision ($31.40) etched his name in the Chester record books, taking a Pennsylvania Sire Stakes event for 3-year-old pacing colts and geldings on Sunday (August 23) afternoon in 1:49.3, a North American season’s best for 3-year-old pacing geldings on a five-eighths-mile track in addition to a new track record.

Clear Vision set a Harrah’s Chester track record with his 1:49.3 score in PASS action.
With a speed bias in full force, David Miller brushed to the front with the gelded son of Western Hanover off a :26.2 first quarter, overtaking Dan Carter (Yannick Gingras) before being pressed by Schoolkids (Ron Pierce) through a :54 half-mile. With Schoolkids fading up the backstretch, and 1-2 favorite Fire On The Water gapping poor cover, Clear Vision and Dan Carter broke away from the field on the far turn, with Clear Vision holding sway by 1-3/4 length. Fire On The Water, despite little kick in the stretch, finished third.
Richard “Nifty” Norman trains Clear Vision for John Fielding and David McDuffee.
David Miller notched a stakes double with 1-5 favorite Arctic Warrior (1:51), while Bunkmeister was victorious under Andy McCarthy at 2-5 odds (1:51.1). Other division winners were Pangiorno (1:50.3, George Napolitano, Jr.) and 14-1 upset winner Picassos Boy (1:51.4, Corey Callahan).
