Chester, PA — Sophomore trotters Hardrockcafe and Met Your Request won the $12,600 featured races at Harrah’s Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon (June 21).

Hardrockcafe was up first, and the 3-year-old gelded son of Rock Of Cashel (who is still racing) made every pole a winning one with a 3-3/4-length victory in which he reduced his mark to 1:55.4. Todd McCarthy drove Hardrockcafe for trainer Mark Harder, who also shares ownership with Joseph Jannuzzelli and Jeffrey Ruch.

Waloner led most of the way in the other division, but the Met’s Hall gelding Met Your Request, who had sat third-in much of the mile, had enough kick late to overhaul the leader by a head in 1:56.3. Tyler Miller was in the sulky for his mother, trainer Julie Miller, and the ownership of his father’s Andy Miller Stable Inc. and Mr. Caroll Huffman.

Tim Tetrick added to his meet-leading driving win lead by piloting four horses to victory.

Harrah’s current schedule features racing on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons at 12:25 p.m., and Sunday afternoons at 12:40 p.m. Program pages for all races at Harrah’s Philadelphia are or will be available on the PHHA website.
