NA Season's Best For One More Laugh
Sons of The Panderosa accounted for two of six Pennsylvania Sire Stakes winners Wednesday, July 22 at Chester Racetrack, but it was One More Laugh which got the last laugh of the two-year-old pacing colts and geldings.
One More Laugh, a McArdle gelding out of Fancy Creek Funny, cleared the front on the first turn before rating a sensible middle half. The gelding then kicked away at head-stretch to win by four and a half lengths in 1:52, a track record and the season's fastest mile for a two-year-old pacing gelding on a five-eighths mile track.
One More Laugh showed immediate response to driver Tim Tetrick, flashing :26.3 final quarter speed. Ray Schnittker trains One More Laugh for Mathias Meinzinger.
Tim Tetrick also won divisions with prohibitive favorites Fancyfreeshark (1:52.4) and Pang Shui (1:53).
Relaxed Fit (1:52.3) and Indelible Hanover (1:53.4) comprised The Panderosa double, while Fashion Heart (1:53.2) was the lone winner by Western Hanover. Favourites won five of six divisions, with Indelible Hanover the longest priced winner at $7.00.
