Jeffery P continues Meadows dominance

WASHINGTON, PA, July 22, 2021 — Jeffery P made an easy lead from post 7 and jogged home from there, extending his harness racing winning streak to five in Thursday’s $17,600 Open Handicap Trot at The Meadows.

Once Dave Palone gave Jeffery P a 29.3 second-quarter breather, the race for win was over. The 6-year-old Full Count-Betty Jean gelding scored in 1:53.3, 2 lengths better than the pocket-sitting Icanflylikeanangel, while Stickler Hanover shot the Lightning Lane for show. The fourth-place finish of In Secret was noteworthy, as his check sent him over $900,000 in career earnings.

JEFFERY P REPLAY

Ron Burke trains Jeffery P, who lifted his lifetime bankroll to $292,303, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Phillip Collura.

Chris Shaw, Mike Wilder and Palone each fashioned a three-bagger on the 13-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Friday when the program features a pair of stakes for 3-year-old colt and gelding trotters: a $147,706 Pennsylvania Sires Stake and a $40,000 PA Stallion Series event. First post is 12:45 PM.
