Chester, PA — You’re Majestic unleashed a last quarter of :27.3 to catch pacesetting Fly On by a neck in 1:53.3 while taking the $18,000 trotting feature at Harrah’s Philadelphia on Thursday afternoon (May 31).
The victorious daughter of Majestic Son had drawn the outside post in the field of seven, but had her chances improved when favored New Jersey Viking and second choice Misslarose went off stride on the first turn. Still, she was at the back of the main pack when she started her frontward move on the backstretch, followed the cover of Ataboy Hanover on the far turn, then tipped wide and overhauled Fly On in the shadow of the wire under the guidance of David Miller. Andrew Harris trains the lifetime winner of $445,567 for F. Bellino & Sons LLC.
Hall of Famer David Miller proved to have the hot hands on Thursday with four winners, including three on the trot. Among them was the gelding EI EI O (Cam’s Rocket), who rode a pocket trip behind under-pressure pacesetter New Heaven, then came on to catch that rival by a half-length and put up a new mark of 1:53.1 for trainer/owner Arlene Cameron, while boosting his bankroll to $104,167.
