Four $12,600 features races at Harrah’s Philadelphia on Friday afternoon were split evenly between male pacers and trotters.
Always B Sweet, a Pennsylvania Stallion Series winner earlier, defeated Curbside Pickup and favoured PaSS winner Literl Lad Hanover in a 1:50.1 section of the features for pacing males. The Always B Miki gelding, even coming off a sick scratch, was just too much to overhaul, posting fractions of :27, :56.1, and 1:23 before crossing the wire and knocking more than a full second off his lifetime mark. Curbside Pickup was a neck ahead of Literl Lad Hanover but 4-1/4 lengths behind the winner, who was guided by Andrew McCarthy for Team Cancelliere – trainer Tom and owner John.

I Did It Myway opted to control the mile rather than enjoy a pocket trip, a decision that paid when he scored in a stake-fastest 1:52.1 in the $165,257 Pennsylvania Sires Stake at The Meadows on Saturday (July 3). The event for freshman colt and gelding pacers, known as the Albatross, was contested over three divisions, with Night Hawk and Wearinmysixshooter taking the other splits.
I Did It Myway, who entered the Albatross off a front-stepping Tompkins-Geers win in his career debut, shot to the early lead from the rail but yielded to JMs Finaltreasure, the 3-5 favourite. Winning driver Todd McCarthy, however, did not consider that the garden spot.
With one Grand Circuit win under his belt, Stretch The Line might get the chance to go for another in the upcoming MGM Springfield Stakes at Yonkers Raceway.
Stretch The Line won Friday’s $11,350 Landmark Stakes for two-year-old male pacers at Goshen Historic Track, going gate-to-wire in 2:00.2 with Tyler Buter at the lines for trainer Erv Miller. It was Stretch The Line’s first win in his second start. He went off stride on June 23 at Harrah’s Philadelphia.
A gelding by Huntsville out of Jessalilmixup, he was purchased for $16,000 at the Goshen Yearling Sale. In addition to going off stride in his first start, Stretch The Line made a break in his first qualifier on June 9. He returned a week later to win a qualifier in 1:55 at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono.
