Mac’s Delight Shines in Recent Races, Leaving Trainers with a Dilemma
Mac’s Delight (Bettor’s Delight), a rising star in harness racing, has put in three impressive performances in his first races this season, leading to a dilemma for his connections. In a recent $14,500 pace at Harrah’s Philadelphia, Mac’s Delight displayed his speed and tenacity, pacing a swift 1:49.1 and outpacing his rivals by a comfortable margin.
Ruthless Hanover’s Impressive Comeback
The dilemma for Mac’s Delight’s connections arises from the remarkable comeback of another stable star, Ruthless Hanover. After a six-month layoff, Ruthless Hanover stormed to victory in a $13,000 fast-class handicap pace, clocking an astonishing 1:47.1. This dominant performance has earned Ruthless Hanover another invitation to the prestigious Auger Memorial, part of Super Sunday at Philly next week.
Auger Memorial Contest
The Auger Memorial is a highly anticipated event, and the presence of both Mac’s Delight and Ruthless Hanover has raised the stakes significantly. Team Cancelliere, the connections behind both horses, must now decide if they will enter Mac’s Delight as an entrymate for Ruthless Hanover. Alternatively, the $50,000 Invitational pace, the #senditin Philadelphia Invitational, could provide Mac’s Delight with a different challenge.
Other Notable Performances
Alongside the remarkable performances of Mac’s Delight and Ruthless Hanover, other horses have also made their mark at Harrah’s Philadelphia. Three-year-old Total Stranger paced an impressive 1:49.1 in the day’s first race, setting a new personal best. Meanwhile, Twin B Joe Fresh, who made her first start as a four-year-old, showed great promise, finishing a close second to Mac’s Delight.
Super Sunday Extravaganza
The Super Sunday card promises to be an unforgettable spectacle. In addition to the Auger Memorial and the #senditin Philadelphia Invitational, the $100,000 Maxie Lee Memorial Trot will also be contested. With a wide range of talented horses and thrilling races, Super Sunday 2024 is an event not to be missed.
