Father Nuno is fastest in Philadelphia qualifiers

At 0h56, on March 27, 2021 By HARRAH'S PHILADELPHIE

The trotters and pacers went behind the starting gate at Harrah’s Philadelphia for the first time in 2021 on Friday, with eight qualifiers held a week before the track’s opening day of Friday, April 2.

The fastest winner was the full brother to Captaintreacherous, the 4-year-old Father Nuno, who won in 1:53.3 under the guidance of George Napolitano Jr. for trainer Tom and owner/brother John Cancelliere. The royally-bred pacer’s last purse start was in the Governor’s Cup as a 2-year-old, where he was second to Papi Rob Hanover. He qualified twice in June last year but never started, and this was his first racetrack appearance since those qualifiers.
