J L Sadowsky's Tag Up And Go and harness racing driver Corey Callahan were victorious for the fourth straight time on Thursday at Harrah's Philly.
The 5-year-old son of Angus Hall was coming off of upper conditioned-level wins at The Meadowlands, with the most recent score here at Harrah's Philadelphia in his last.
Today's event was for Winner's Over $25,000 lifetime on the trot. The Bob Bresnahan trainee left the gate fast and led until the quarter pole, before yielding to Wheelsandthelegman (Andrew McCarthy). It stayed that way until the half and that's when Team Six (Marcus Miller) attacked first-over. As they made their way to the top of the stretch, the leader began to tire, but held up long enough for Tag Up And Go to maintain positive momentum for the stretch drive. Nearing the wire, Tag Up And Go pushed successfully up the passing lane for a one length victory over a game Team Six, while Uva Hanover (Tim Tetrick) closed with a ton to be third.
The fractions were :27.1, :56, 1:24.1, 1:53.2.
It was Tag Up And Go's sixteenth career win, and his eighth on the season of sixteen starts. He paid $3.40.
In other notes, driver Corey Callahan had five wins on the day, while leading driver George Napolitano Jr. had three.
