South Beach Star was parked most of a :53.3 first half en route to winning in 1:48.2 at Pocono last week. On Friday at Harrah’s Philadelphia, the Somebeachsomewhere gelding saved the :53.3 half for the back of the mile, holding off favoured Lous Pearlman by half a length in 1:49.1 to take the $20,000 Open Handicap Pace.
