Gate-to-wire for Harness AM

WASHINGTON, PA, Aug. 18, 2021 — Aided by a 31.1 second-quarter breather, Harness AM fashioned an easy front-end harness racing victory in Wednesday’s co-feature at The Meadows, a $10,300 Filly & Mare Conditioned Trot.

Harness AM had to duel through a contested 28.1 opening panel in the slop, but once he crossed over and winning driver Brady Brown slammed on the brakes, the 4-year-old daughter of Father Patrick-Noblesse Blue Chip had things her way, scoring in 1:56.3.

The rallying Tamar finished second, 2 lengths back, while the first-over Tuesday Morning raced well for show. It was one of three victories for Brown on the 13-race card.

Tyler Stillings conditions Harness AM, who lifted her lifetime bankroll to $117,775, for Rags To Riches of PA, which enjoyed a three-win day.

HARNESS AM REPLAY
