Premium Pennsylvania-sired three-year-old pacing fillies will be racing for over $300,000 on the Sunday twilight card at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono. The program will feature a pair of $93,542 divisions of the third preliminary round of the group’s Pennsylvania Sire Stakes and six $20,000 divisions of their Stallion Series action.

Four fillies that have already recorded sires stakes victories will be in action during Sunday’s leg. Three of the aforementioned fillies will contest Race 5, but it’s likely that Race 10 will draw at least as much interest. Race 10 will contain the sole two-time sire stakes winner, the Captaintreacherous filly Party Girl Hill. Party Girl Hill was unraced at two, but is unbeaten after five starts at three. Party Girl Hill is set to start from Post 2 in a field of six for driver Dexter Dunn, trainer Chris Ryder, and owner Tom Hill.

Party Girl Hill’s last race, a 1:49.4 triumph in the Adioo Volo over a 'sloppy' track at the Meadows, is the one that really raised some eyebrows. Party Girl Hill had to come first-over after a 30-second second quarter. She paced her back fractions in :53 - :26.2 without looking under strain and defeated last year’s two-year-old champion, Lyons Sentinel.

Lyons Sentinel, another daughter of Captaintreacherous, is one of the three PASS 2020 winners set to square off in Race 5. She is scheduled to start from Post 3 in a group of six for driver Tim Tetrick, trainer Jim King Jr., and Threelyonsracing. Never off the board in 18 career starts and with earnings of $937,383, Lyons Sentinel was far from disgraced in the Adioo Volo, where she was used to get the lead in a :26.2 opening quarter and raced well against the rampaging Party Hill Girl.

The other sire stakes winners in the field are Drama Act, who will start from Post 2 for driver Aaron Merriman and trainer Krista Harmon, and Rocknificent, who won in the Geers Stakes at the Meadowlands Racetrack in 1:49.1 in her last outing. Rocknificent is set to start from the outside for driver Scott Zeron and trainer Linda Toscano.

No fewer than nine winners in the Stallion Series to date are back to try to further their reputations. Among them are The Bethinator, the only two-time Stallion Series winner so far, and a trio of single winners that are gathered in another division: Alexa Skye, Keystone Eureka, and Cowgirl Lilly, starting side-by-side-by-side in posts three through five in their cut.

Post time for Sunday’s 14-race card at Pocono is set for 5 p.m.
