All Day Sunshine draws off late

WASHINGTON, PA — All Day Sunshine had to work hard for the early harness racing lead, but she drew off late for an easy victory in Thursday’s feature at The Meadows, a $10,300 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.

The 4-5 favorite battled from the start with Just Zip It, finally reaching the point before the quarter. From there, the 4-year-old daughter of Sunshine Beach-Mustang Kensley was on cruise control for Mike Wilder, defeating Just Zip It by 5 lengths in 1:52.2 over a sloppy surface. Something Reel finished third.

Paul Corey trains All Day Sunshine, who lifted her career bankroll to $195,800, for Kenneth Ashba.

Wilder piloted three winners on the 13-race card, including a pair for Corey and Ashba.

Elsewhere on Thursday’s program, Amanda Shaw recorded the first training victory of her career when Onlythetuffsurvive won the fifth race. Shaw has a pretty healthy UTR — it was only her second career start.
