Harrah’s horsemen pay respects to Brad Hanners

Chester, PA – Horsemen and women paid their respects to Brad Hanners at Harrah's Philadelphia on Wednesday in a moment of silence before the races.

Hanners, a well known driver and trainer from Ohio, passed away after a bout with cancer.

On a bittersweet afternoon, driver George Napolitano Jr. had six wins on the program, and ten total on the day (4 wins at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs on Wednesday night). Napolitano continues to lead the driver's standings at Harrah's Philly by more than 70 wins over Tim Tetrick and Corey Callahan, who are in a virtual tie for second.

Also, driver Brett Miller moved closer to a personal milestone. With his driving win in race seven, he is now two wins away from 7,000. He has nine drives on today's program (Thursday, Sept. 17) at Harrah's Philadelphia.
