CHESTER PA – Bettor’s Up was reserved off the front-end pyrotechnics in the $18,000 distaff feature pace Friday afternoon at Harrah’s Philadelphia, then stormed home sharply to post a 1:50.3 victory.
Ideal Lifestyle A blitzed away at the start, forcing Culinary Delight and Quite A Sight in behind her approaching a hot :26 quarter. Quite A Sight decided she didn’t like the view from third, and she was sent out again, gaining the lead into turn two, but paying the price of a :54.2 half.
Ideal Lifestyle A decided not to sit and pulled out to gain the lead again early in the backstretch, with Culinary Delight N going first-over to challenge and Bettor’s Up reserved third-over past the quick 1:21.3 three-quarters. The Bettor’s Delight mare was still fresh when tipped three-wide heading for home, and she paced away to win by 2¼ lengths over a game Ideal Lifestyle A.
