A field of seven filly and mare pacers lined up behind the starting gate for the featured event at Harrah's Philadelphia on Friday afternoon.
It was an open affair going for a purse of $30,000. The wagering public sent Jimmy Takter trainee Katie Said off as the post time favorite.
The 4-year-old daughter of Well Said was coming off of a solid victory against similar here last week. She wasted no time making her presence felt from the start, as she battled with Ooh Bad Shark (Allan Davis) for the lead at the quarter (:27.1). She took the lead just beyond that point, continuing her quick tempo to the half (:54.2). Just past that station, Ron Burke charge Set Me Up (Matt Kakaley) launched a first over initiative, but began to backpedal at three quarters (1:23). As they entered the stretch, Ooh Bad Shark vacated the pocket, and drove up to challenge Katie Said (Daniel Dube). Her bid came up just short, as Katie Said was able to last by a nose, stopping the clock in 1:51. BJ's Sweetheart finished third.
It was the 14th career win for Katie Said, and her 4th of the season. She paid $4.80.
