Liteningonthebeach wins Meadows top pace

WASHINGTON, PA, Dec. 8, 2023  — Liteningonthebeach (Downbytheseaside-Peanutbettor Shake) threw down a swift 1:21 three-quarters and rolled home to capture his second straight in Friday’s (Dec. 8) $19,200 Open Handicap harness racing pace at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

Sandbetweenmytoes shot the Lightning Lane to cut into the lead but fell a length short of the 3-year-old gelding, who prevailed in 1:50.2 for Aaron Merriman to match his career fastest. Fourever Boy rallied for show.
