CHESTER PA – The red-hot barn of trainer Jim Campbell sent out another promising youngster on Friday afternoon at Harrah’s Philadelphia, as Chapter Fashion took the $16,000 trotting part of twin features on the card. In the feature restricted to pacing distaffs, Backseat Terror took her field coast-to-coast.
Chapter Fashion, who had shown good speed amidst a couple of breaking outings, was on best behavior here for driver David Miller, brushing to the lead in front of the grandstand and coming home in 57.2 to defeat the favored filly Antonia by ¾ of a length in 1:55.1, equaling his racing best and a fifth off his time in a qualifying win at The Meadowlands. The Fashion Farms LLC up-and-comer is a sophomore Chapter Seven gelding by New Hampshire Gal, whose dam Yankee Kelsie is a ¾ sister to stakes star Yankee Glide.
Since the first of June, Campbell’s barn shows a 21-9-4-1 record – and that includes all the horses in four baby races at Philly this past Tuesday where the 1-2 finishers were Campbell trainees.
