Harrah's Philadelphia: Simon Allard scores career win 4,000

On Friday afternoon (Aug. 14), Simon Allard recorded the 4,000th driving win of his career, doing so with Australian import Anythingforlove ($2.10) in the ninth race at Harrah's Philadelphia.

Allard yielded for the pocket with the 8-year-old Rock N Roll Heaven gelding, and the pair drafted Skip To My Lou before reclaiming the lead on the backstretch and holding off a late charge from 23-1 outsider Mr Profeta to win by three-quarters of a length in 1:51. Allard also won with Rock The Town ($23.20) and Diamond Head ($11.20), and his hat trick gave him top honors among all drivers on the 14-race program.

The 38-year-old Quebec native has driven almost exclusively in the United States since 2016 and has earned over $39 million in purses.
