I Did It Myway opted to control the mile rather than enjoy a pocket trip, a decision that paid when he scored in a stake-fastest 1:52.1 in the $165,257 Pennsylvania Sires Stake at The Meadows on Saturday (July 3). The event for freshman colt and gelding pacers, known as the Albatross, was contested over three divisions, with Night Hawk and Wearinmysixshooter taking the other splits. I Did It Myway, who entered the Albatross off a front-stepping Tompkins-Geers win in his career debut, shot to the early lead from the rail but yielded to JMs Finaltreasure, the 3-5 favourite. Winning driver Todd McCarthy, however, did not consider that the garden spot.
