Tough win for Stay Hungry filly

CHESTER PA – The Stay Hungry sophomore pacing filly Odds On Aces Full kept grinding away at favored pacesetter Sweet Odds, then beat her to the line by three parts of a length to win the $12,000 harness racing feature at Harrah’s Philadelphia Wednesday afternoon in a career best 1:51.4.

ODDS ON ACES FULL REPLAY

Sweet Odds moved past a :26.2 opener to wrest command from a longshot, then went to the midway point in :55.3, with Odds On Aces Full (like the leader bred by Odds On Nourrir)  and driver Anibal Borjas moving outside nearing the far turn and the 1:23.1 three quarters. The pacesetter proved resilient, but the winner took her measure late for trainer Tony Alagna and owners Odds On Racing.

In an $11,000 trot for two-year-old fillies, the Six Pack – Sleep Tight My Luv miss Naked And Famous had a journey similar to feature winner Odds On Aces Full, sitting fairly close to the pace and then uncorking an uncovered move that steadily brought her to victory to 1:58.1 in her first betting start.

Glitterati backed out behind the winner’s cover on the far turn, but her late bid came up three quarters of a length short as Naked And Famous won for driver Niko Karna, trainer Noel Daley, and CTC Stable.

NAKED AND FAMOUS REPLAY

Troy Beyer won four races Wednesday to top the Philly drivers; his compatriot in yellow and green, meet leader Tim Tetrick, visited Victory Lane three times.

Racing at Harrah’s Philadelphia will continue this week on Thursday and Friday at 12:25 p.m. and Sunday at 12:40 p.m. The Friday card will feature top-quality three-year-old trotting colts in $164,266 of stakes action in the group’s third preliminary of the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes and Stallion Series.
