Thebeachiscalling and Always B First took top billing in Wednesday s (May 19) Pennsylvania Sire Stakes for three-year-old pacing fillies at Harrah s Philadelphia with matching 1:50 miles, while Continualou won the remaining division.
Thebeachiscalling, who had earned $161,196 without winning in the first 10 starts of her career, built on a winning effort last week to take her $50,645 Sire Stakes event in a new mark for Bella Racing Ltd and trainer Chris Ryder. The daughter of Somebeachsomewhere led early before being overpowered by Grace Hill and favourite Blue Diamond Eyes past the :26.4 quarter. Blue Diamond Eyes carried on through fast :54.1 and 1:21.4 middle splits before Andy McCarthy angled outside to challenge on the far turn. Thebeachiscalling moved powerfully on the turn into contention and pushed to the lead in upper stretch. Mikala rallied for second, a neck behind, and Blue Diamond Eyes finished third.
Andy McCarthy was on fire at The Meadowlands Friday night, guiding four winners on the card, including Machnhope to a second consecutive win in the weekly $30,000 pacing feature for fillies and mares.
One week after scoring as the fifth choice in the betting in the Winners Over/Preferred Handicap, the wagering public sent Machnhope, a Noel Daley trainee, to the gate as the second choice this time around, and once again she brought her “A” game.
Away quickly from post seven in the seven-horse field, the 6-year-old daughter of Mach Three-Hope For Life was intent on making the front in search of a second straight speed score, and hit the quarter in a quick :26.1. McCarthy was able to rate the second fraction in :28.4, which left enough in the tank for later on.
