West Coast Wins Pennsylvania Derby at Parx Racing
Parx Racing in Bensalem, Pennsylvania was the scene of the $1 million G1 Pennsylvania Derby on Saturday, September 23 - a 1 1/8-mile dirt race for three-year olds. Gary and Mary West's 8-5 race favorite West Coast was much the best on the day, earning his second G1 score of the season - this time by an easy 7 1/4 lengths. 3-1 second choice Irap closed well to claim second after surviving an inquiry with Giuseppe the Great, who raced in ninth capturing third in the field of 10 at 20-1 odds. Game Over, was fourth followed by Talk Logistics, Outplay, Timeline, 9-2 third choice Irish War Cry, Term of Art, and Watch Me Whip, to complete the order of finish.
