Sunday’s Harrah’s Philadelphia stakes-filled program puts together some of the top older talent in the sport. Driver David Miller didn’t have the luxury of waiting for Sunday to decide what his strategy would be. The Hall of Fame driver had to make some choices early just to be positioned correctly behind the starting gate. “I took Broadway Donna,” Miller said on Wednesday, opting off Crazy Wow in favor of the 5-year-old mare in the $150,000 Maxie Lee Memorial, race 10 of 14 on the afternoon program. “I’ve driven her practically her entire career,” said Miller. “Originally she wasn’t supposed to be in this race but when she got invited I had to stay with her.” [DRF HARNESS LIVE: Real-time analysis and LIVE Video from Harrah's Philadelphia this Sunday afternoon.] Broadway Donna landed post seven in the field that includes Triple Crown winner Marion Marauder (post 1) and the aforementioned Crazy Wow (post 5), who will get Yannick Gingras in the bike to replace Miller. “She’s come back sharp,” said Miller of Broadway Donna, who scored in her seasonal debut on May 12 at The Meadowlands in 1:51 4/5. “Her body really hasn’t changed that much from her 3-year-old season. They have changed her shoes this year and that seems to have worked.” Miller’s choice in the $150,000 Betsy Ross was a bit more challenging as he’s driven both Agent Q (post 5) and Darlinonthebeach (post 7) regularly throughout both of their brilliant careers. Agent Q is a 4-year-old now trained by Chris Oakes and Darlinonthebeach is a 5-year-old racing for Nifty Norman this year. “It was a tough decision,” said Miller, who chose Darlinonthebeach. “Darlinonthebeach is a year older and she’s staked to a few more races than Agent Q.” Miller drove both mares last week in separate divisions of the Great Northeast series at Harrah’s Philadelphia. “She’s come back very good this year,” said Miller of Darlinonthebeach. “She raced very well for Victor Kirby two starts back and dug in for me last week.” It is going to be a challenge this week given Darlinonthebeach’s post draw and the fact that the Betsy Ross looks like it could be the best race of the year thus far for pacing mares. The field is a who’s who of top talent with $2.2 million winner Pure Country drawing the pole position and Blue Chip Matchmaker winner Shartin N landing post 4 for trainer Jim King Jr. and driver Tim Tetrick. The import has won nine of her 11 races this year but has clearly never met a field with the depth of talent in the Betsy Ross. Shartin N last raced in the Chip Noble Memorial at Miami Valley, where she took a 1:49 3/5 career best winning on May 7. Caviart Ally (post 2) and Blue Moon Stride (post 8) are both proven stakes winners, with the former unbeaten in two starts this year and the latter a 1:49 4/5 winner at Harrah’s last Sunday, pushing her over the $1 million mark in career earnings. The $150,000 Commodore Barry is an invitational but it sets up more like a handicap with double millionaires McWicked (post 7) and Mach It So (post 8) landing on the outside. Miller is excited to see what Heaven Rocks A (post 3) can do when pitted against this company. “My wife and I saw him race when we were in Australia,” said Miller. “She really loved the horse.” When Ross Croghan’s owners decided to purchase Heaven Rocks A and bring him to North America, the Millers had to be part. “She was just so excited about this horse that she called the other owners and asked if we could purchase a share,” said Miller. Miller sat behind Heaven Rocks A in a qualifier at The Meadowlands on May 5 and then again guided the son of Rock N Roll Heaven to a second-place finish in a Great Northeast division at Harrah’s on May 13. “We’re just trying to take it easy with him and race him from behind,” said Miller. “The owners have made him eligible to a lot of stakes.” Heaven Rocks A is surrounded by the solid 4-year-olds Beckham’s Z Tam (post 1), Western Joe (post 2) and recent Confederation Cup winner Filibuster Hanover (post 4) Rockeyed Optimist and Rodeo Romeo round out the field for the Commodore Barry. The Harrah’s Philadelphia Sunday program commences at 12:40 p.m. and will also feature two divisions of the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes for 3-year-old pacing fillies as well as three divisions of the Great Northeast Open series.
