Chief Stipe Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Heaven Rocks A rocks'em in Northeast Series 08:48 AM 04 Jun 2018 NZST ck to USA homepage Entries Results Heaven Rocks A and driver David Miller World Wide Racing Photo CHESTER, PA - Following a pair of runner-up efforts since arriving in North America, the third time was a charm for Heaven Rocks A ($2.60), who stubbornly held his ground to parry Bettors Edge a quarter mile from home en route to a 1:50 score in a $30,000 Great Northeast Series event on Sunday afternoon (June 3) at Harrah’s Philadelphia. The six-year-old Rock N Roll Heaven gelding began his brush from midfield, as Sicily (driven by Montrell Teague) completed a :27 first quarter, put in motion by David Miller to slipstream the cover of Bettor Memories (Tim Tetrick) off the first turn before pushing clear with a circuit to go. After maintaining a stout pace through a :54.3 half, Heaven Rocks A faced a stern first-over challenge from Bettors Edge (Andy Miller) up the far side. Bettors Edge — a winner last week — worked to within a head of the leader, but was sternly rebuffed at the conclusion of a :28.1 third quarter. Heaven Rocks A powered clear off the far turn and handily maintained three and a half lengths of clearance over Always At My Place (Corey Callahan), who circled three-wide off cover to just nab Bettors Edge for second. Heaven Rocks A, who defeated Australian sensation Lennytheshark earlier this year, increased his career record to 13 wins from 30 starts.Ross Croghan trains Heaven Rocks A for Let It Ride Stables Inc., Dana Parham, and Misty Miller.

Newmarket Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 $30k race? Could be racing in Aus each week for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelly Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Great win by Heaven Rocks. He looks more suited to the mile races than Lazarus, who won comfortably at Pocono in one of the day's slower times. Bit of a Legend continues to be one of the best pacers over there, running his fastest ever mile at 1:49.4 to take out the US$200,000 Battle of Lake Erie yesterday. Three years of US racing for US$1.6 million ain't too shabby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I used to get excited when I was a kid, when they used to run the pan am mile at Addington and Bonnie's chance would do it in 1.58!! Shows just how quick the tracks are now as well. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hug the Wind in 1.49 and gets a share of $14 000. It will be so interesting to see what Lazarus can do if he is at his best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess when you think niatross was running 1.49 in the early1980's in the,states then those sort of times are average over there is the world record 1.46 now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
