Somebeachsomewhere wins Bluegrass, ties all-age world-record with 1:46.4!




September 27, 2008 - Somebeachsomewhere lowered his personal mark, set a world record for 3 year old pacers and tied the all ages record with a blistering time of 146.4 at The Red Mile in Lexington Kentucky this afternoon. "Beach" led from wire to wire, sporting fractions of :26.4, :52.4, and 1:19.2 before Paul Macdonnell drove him home masterfully for a 7-length victory in 27.2, tying Holborn Hanover’s all-time 146.4 race record set at The Meadowlands in 2006.

Those who follow Somebeachsomewhere know that he was a little bit sick in his last start a few weeks back at Mohawk, where he struggled in the homestretch, so everyone was anxious to see how he would do today, facing a 10mph headwind in the backstretch plus 70 degree temperatures. Beach's connections are hoping for perfect conditions next Saturday when they take another crack at the world record in the Tattersalls Pace.

Brent McGrath, trainer of Somebeachsomewhere, had this to say after the race:

“He had three weeks off and he was a little sick in his last start,” he said. “I think we’ve got him close to 100 percent now. I think he’s got another half-second in him.”


In the other two big races today, Art Official won his division of the bluegrass stakes in 1.48.3, while Deweycheatumnhowe trotted to a 152.2, six-length victory over Broadway Marquis, while Celebrity Secret won his division in 153 flat.


Good luck to Beach next week, keep it rolling baby!
