Beach Cowgirl returned to the scene of her greatest triumph – Harrah’s Philadelphia, where she won her freshman Pennsylvania Sire Stakes Championship in a world-record 1:50 – and kept her lifetime record undefeated after five starts in her 2023 bow: a 1:50.1 mile on Sunday afternoon (June 4). She competed in one of three $49,783 divisions of the first preliminary of the PA Sire Stakes for three-year-old pacing fillies.

On Sunday afternoon, Harrah’s Philadelphia will present what is one of the best cards so far in 2023 North American harness racing, with three $100,000 Invitationals, action in the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes and Stallion Series for the “glamour division” three-year-old pacing colts.

South Beach Star was parked most of a :53.3 first half en route to winning in 1:48.2 at Pocono last week.

The first races of the 2023 stakes season at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania took place on Sunday night (May 7), four $30,000 divisions of a Pennsylvania All-Stars event for three-year-old pacing fillies, and despite a “good” track the miles yielded uniformly quick clockings.
