Pennsylvania-sired three-year-old trotting colts and geldings took the spotlight on Wednesday at Harrah's Chester Casino and Racetrack, with Southwind Nitro taking top honours in the fastest of five Stallion Series divisions
.
Tony Morgan drove the son of SJs Caviar to a 1:56.2 victory, clearing a fading Cimmaron Hall up the backstretch before digging in to hold off a persistent Tag The Lady by 1-1/4 lengths, returning $3.60 to his backers. William Daugherty, Jr. trains Southwind Nitro for Susan Daugherty.
Morgan was also victorious in the first Stallion Series division of the day, teaming up with owner-trainer Doland Wiest on Warrawee Lucky, who held off a late charge from Im Not Leaving in a 1:57.2 score.
Park Way (1:58.2, Ron Pierce), Photo Rules (1:58.1, Mike Lachance), and Most Wanted Lindy (1:58.2, George Napolitano) also took their respective $20,000 splits.
Four divisions of the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes for three-year-old trotting colts and geldings headline the Thursday Chester card. First post is 12:45 p.m. eastern time.
