There were four divisions of the Pennsylvania Stallion Series contested at Harrah's Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon (May 27) for three-year-old colt and gelding pacers.

In the first division, it was Tony Alagna trainee Trading Up (Scott Zeron) winning under wraps. The son of Somebeachsomewhere brushed to the lead just beyond the quarter and went on to an easy three length victory, stopping the clock in a lifetime's best 1:52.2. It was his second career victory, and his first of the season in three starts. Longshot Thats My Harley (Montrell Teague) finished second while Aberdeen Hanover (Tony Morgan) finished third. Trading Up ($3.40) is owned by Alagna Racing, John Fodera, Alan Alber, and Aaron Waxman. He is eligible to the Pepsi North America Cup.

Division two saw Ray Schnittker trainee Well Well Well (Tim Tetrick) spring the mild upset. The son of Well Said came from off the pace to pick up his second victory in a career-best 1:52.4. Cup eligible Jo Pas Well Said (David Miller) closed solidly for second, despite being used in the early going. Colorful Speech (George Napolitano Jr.) finished a game third. Well Well Well ($8.40) is owned by Schnittker and the Well Well Stable.

In the third division, Shirley Le Vin's Parklane Eagle (Dave Miller) was able to narrowly hold off the competition. The son of Somebeachsomewhere was three-wide to the quarter-pole, but still had enough to hold off a late challenge from longshot Guantanamo Bay (Corey Callahan). Reggiano (Yannick Gingras) finished third. It was the third straight win for the Peter Foley trainee, who paced the mile in 1:52.1. He paid $3.00 to win.

The fourth division saw This Time (Scott Zeron) picking up his second career win. The son of Well Said seized command and was geared down the final sixteenth, winning by a length in 1:53.1. Lyons Geoffjnr (Yannick Gingras), another Cup contender, held pocket position throughout to finish second, while Techtor Hanover (Corey Callahan) finished third. This Time ($6.20) is owned by Peter Blood and Rick Berks, and is trained by Steve Elliott.
