The wife/husband team of trainer Julie and driver Andy Miller swept the featured trotting events at Harrah’s Philadelphia on Thursday afternoon, including the $14,400 co-features, one with a filly they campaigned with success on the Grand Circuit last year, and the other with a horse who just came to their barn.
The Archangel gelding Angel Nation was unraced at two, but he progressed enough at three to be second in the Ontario Sires Stakes Super Final. He qualified at Woodbine Mohawk, then moved down to the Millers and, off 34 days, qualified in 1:54.4 at first asking.
He was even better on Thursday, blazing down the road in :28.2, :58, 1:26, and 1:54.1, a new mark, holding off the highly-regarded stakes-winner Hillexotic, who was also making his debut at four. The victorious Angel Nation seems on the verge of greater things for owners Legendary Standardbred Farm and Ted MacDonell, his trainer in Ontario.
