Macaria wins in Reynolds

Macaria Hanover looks like she’s back to her winning ways. The Lindy Lane filly captured the $17,808 first division of the W.N. Reynolds Memorial Stakes for 3-year-old filly trotters Tuesday afternoon at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, winning in 1:56.3.

There were three divisions held for both 3-year-old trotting fillies and 3-year-old pacing fillies. The Reynolds action is part of Grand Circuit Week at the track.

Macaria Hanover, a winner of nearly $300,000, was driven by Brian Sears for trainer Doug Miller and owner William Weaver III. In her first start June 28, she made a break at the half and finished ninth.

In the second division, Muscle Chips and driver-trainer Charlie Norris won in 1:57.3. The Muscles Yankee filly is owned by Carrie Norris and Neal Goldman.

In the final division, Tresokay and trainer-driver Dewayne Minor scored a victory in 1:58. The Self Possessed filly is owned by Cowboyland Aalborg.

In the pacing filly division, Dave Palone gunned Armbro Dancer to the engine and she never left the lead, pacing the mile in 1:52:4. The filly from the barn of Jimmy Takter now has four wins in four starts in 2006.

George Brennan drove Pilgrims Witchie, trained by Scott Andrews, to the day’s fastest pacing time with a victory in 1:51:2. The other division for pacing fillies was won by Pacific Philly, trained by Tim Torbert and driven by David Miller, by a nose over Riley Rose in 1:51:3.
