Last of the 2021 PA All Stars

PHHA/Pocono

The last of the Pennsylvania All-Stars races for the year, with two $35,000 divisions for three-year-old pacing fillies, ahead of their $253,000 Pennsylvania Sire Stakes Championship here next Saturday. The winners were horses who parlayed rail trips into checks in the Lynch Memorial Championship last Saturday.

 The faster winner was the Sweet Lou filly Chase Lounge who led at every call, then flashed home in :27.2 to hold off pocketsitting Milieu Hanover by a neck in a lifetime best 1:50.4. Just a half-length behind Grace Hill in a Sire Stake two starts ago, Chase Lounge was driven today by Tyler Buter, who along with Jason Bartlett had three wins on the card, for trainer Rollie Mallar and owner William Hartt.

 In the other section, the Somebeachsomewhere filly Thebeachiscalling, third in the Lynch, followed early brusher Darby Hanover, went on past that one, and retained control to the wire, besting that rival by 1¼ lengths in 1:51, with a :27.1 last quarter. Matt Kakaley had the driving assignment behind the winner of $283,522 for trainer Chris Ryder and Bella Racing LTD.
