Tetrick brothers sweep PASS at The Meadows

WASHINGTON, PA, July 9, 2023 — Geocentric (Sweet Lou-Geometry) poured through the Lightning Lane to score in a stake-fastest 1:52 in her harness racing career debut in Saturday’s $166,058 Pennsylvania Sires Stake for freshman filly pacers at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

The event, known as the Sand Tart, was contested over three divisions, with Asweetbeachhere and Lyons Legend taking the other splits. The Tetrick brothers, Tim (Geocentric, Lyons Legend) and Trace (Asweetbeachhere), enjoyed a sweep.

After claiming the early lead from post 5, Geocentric released the ambitious Chiapanecas and settled into the pocket. The filly roared through the Lightning Lane, throwing down a 27.2 final panel en route to victory. Brian Brown trains Geocentric for Milton Leeman, Alan Keith, James Stambaugh and Joe Sbrocco.

LYONS LEGEND REPLAY

Lyons Legend (Stay Hungry-Skinny Dip), who captured her career debut at Freehold, clicked off an even faster fourth quarter, using that 26.4 burst to triumph in 1:52.1. Jim King, Jr. conditions the filly for Threelyonsracing.

Asweetbeachhere (Sweet Lou-Some Fancy Filly) converted a pocket trip to victory in 1:53.1 for trainer Erv Miller and owner Douglas Overhiser. MY Girl EJ was second, 3/4 lengths back, with Monsoon third.
