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.
