Jacks Shadow Jets At Philly

Published: April 18, 2021 08:46 pm EDT

Jacks Shadow N successfully avenged last week's defeat to Whos Better at Harrah's Philadelphia with a 1:50.3 score in Sunday (April 18) afternoon's featured $14,400 top-level conditioned pace at the riverside racetrack.

After mid-race traffic trouble left Jacks Shadow N an insurmountable task last week, driver Tim Tetrick opted to send the seven-year-old Shadow Play gelding immediately to the lead at race's outset, clearing Whos Better and Dexter Dunn through a :26.3 quarter. After rating a soft :29.3 second sectional, Jacks Shadow N was forced to accelerate up the backstretch when faced with mild first-over pressure from Dealers Table. Jacks Shadow easily turned aside his outside rival past three-quarters in 1:23.3, and kept Whos Better three-quarters of a length at bay at the winning post. Precision Bluechip finished third, another four lengths behind.

Scott DiDomenico trains 21-time winner Jacks Shadow N for the Triple D Stables, Oompa's Farm and Robert Mondillo. He paid $4.00 to win.

In the afternoon's top distaff pace, a $11,600 high-level conditioned event, Eclipse Me N sprinted clear through the far turn to defeat Disturbed Hanover and Tango Dancer N by eight lengths in 1:50.2. Simon Allard drove the nine-year-old daughter of Real Desire for trainer Lou Peña and the partnership of the D Racing Stable, Yves Sarrazin and Donald MacRae. He paid $4.60 to win.

Tetrick and Yannick Gingras led all drivers with three wins apiece on the 14-race card.

Live racing returns to Harrah's Philadelphia on Wednesday, with a 13-race card slated to commence at 12:25 p.m. Players are reminded that free past performance pages are available for all Harrah's Philadelphia races via the Pennsylvania Harness Horsemen's Association website.
