The inaugural Irish American Celebration Weekend is underway, and there’s one Irishman who hopes the festivities include his personal celebration in The Meadows winners’ circle.
That would be Robert Cleary, the West Cork-born trainer, who’ll send out Always B First in Saturday’s (June 5) $149,532 Pennsylvania Sire Stakes for sophomore filly pacers, where she’ll seek her second straight PASS victory. The event, known as the Adios Betty, goes as races 9 and 11, and the Belmont Day card also features a $100,000 Pennsylvania Stallion Series stake for three-year-old filly pacers. Post time is 11:25 p.m.
A $65,000 yearling purchase for Oompa’s Farm, Robert Mondillo, Craig Henderson and Allen Wenc, Always B First raced sparingly at two and did not take a mark.
