Parx: Ramon Preciado, Hartwells team up to sweep both stakes for Pennsylvania-breds

William Hartwell, his wife Frances, and trainer Ramon Preciado enjoyed a big afternoon at Parx Racing by sweeping both $75,000 stakes for Pennsylvania-breds on the card.

Golddigger’s Boy ($6.20) blew past 3-5 pacesetter Movin’ Out in the stretch to draw away to a 1 3/4-length victory under Stewart Elliott in the seven-furlong Lyman Handicap, then Jemilyn ($6.20), ridden by Angel Arroyo, held off a late bid by Diva’s Gold to register a repeat victory in the seven-furlong Foxy J.G. Stakes for fillies and mares.

Both horses were bred by Frances Hartwell, owned by William Hartwell, and trained by Preciado.

The 4-year-old Golddigger’s Boy, now 4 for 8 lifetime, was cutting back slightly in distance after beating open company in a second-level allowance going a mile on March 12. He completed seven furlongs on a track upgraded from good to fast in 1:21.24.

Movin’ Out, sent off the favorite in a field of five on the basis of his three-length score in the $75,000 Bensalem on March 15, set fractions of 22.82 and 44.93 seconds before weakening in the stretch. He easily held second, 6 1/4 lengths in front of Whistle Pig. Movin’ Out was also second in the 2009 Lyman.

The 6-year-old mare Jemilyn won the Foxy J.G. by 1 1/4 lengths while snapping a three-race losing streak. She is now 7 for 18 lifetime after covering seven furlongs in 1:22.29.

Diva’s Gold, seeking her first win since she was claimed for $15,000 by trainer Butch Reid last August, was 1 1/4 lengths clear of third-place finisher Bright Abyss, a 10-1 outsider.
