WASHINGTON, PA, Nov. 3, 2023 — Sandbetweenmytoes (Somebeachsomewhere-Galleria) seized the early lead from post 6, backed down the harness racing field and drew off late to capture Friday’s co-feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $12,100 Conditioned Pace.
Once Brady Brown gave Sandbetweenmytoes a :29.1 second-quarter breather, the 6-year-old gelding had the field at his mercy. He cooked the back half in :55.1 to triumph in 1:52, 1-3/4 lengths better than Double Up N in the Lightning Lane. The pocket-sitting The Night’s Watch finished third.

In Friday’s co-feature, a $12,100 Conditioned Trot, Windsong Patriot (E L Titan-Windsong Idol) led every step to score for Hunter Myers and trainer Melanie O’Donnell, who owns the 7-year-old gelding with Corey Hendricks. Windsong Patriot now boasts lifetime earnings of $220,810. Mystical Peter and Rose Run Xcentric rounded out the ticket.
