PA HarnessWeek Episode #100 (Dec. 11, 2010) PT2 [07:56]
Our 100th episode! It's not technically winter, but tell that to the folks who turned out to Northfield Park for a snowy -- make that blizzardy -- victory by One More Laugh. The weather was much clearer at Harrah's Chester which made for perfect cool weather racing and wins from Mark Lewis with Trueys Legacy, Tim Tetrick with St Elmo Hero, Eric Goodall with Warning Zone, Yannick Gingras with Ab's Attack and more. Jennifer Sherlock is our roving reporter and she roves her way to the barn of husband-and-wife training term Frank & Jackie Ingrassia to find out how a love of horses -- and one another -- has kept them racing all these years. This week's Blast from the Past is a look back at a classic performance from No Nukes at Brandywine Raceway. Plus, Eric Goodell pilots 211-1 long shot Conartist Hanover to a come-from-behind victory at Dover Downs.

Think the 2010 racing season is winding down? Think again! The action is hotter than ever this week, kicking off with exciting wins from Tim Tetrick with Hypnotic Blue Chip, Mark Lewis with Devils Ivy, Yannick Gingras with Red Star Hottie and more. Steve takes us back to the 2005 Habletonian in this week's Blast from the Past to relive Roger Hammer's amazing trip from the PA fair circuit to the big time with Vivid Photo. Jennifer catches up with trainer/driver Todd Schadel whose focus on racing is 24/7, and Heather talks with caretaker Sarah Murphy about what it's like to work with modern-day legends like Won The West on a daily basis. We round out the action with a recap of Rock N Roll Heaven's final career race, going out on top by three lengths with Dan Dube in the bike.
