WASHINGTON, PA, June 5, 2024 — Shuffled to fourth after taking the early lead, Youmakemyheartsing (Some Heart Throb-You Make Me Smile) found the Lightning Lane in time and captured Wednesday’s harness racing feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $12,000 Claiming Handicap.
Youmakemyheartsing shot to the point from post 7 for Mike Wilder, but as the field turned for home, he had no path outside. Wilder guided the 9-year-old gelding to the winning route inside, and he poured through to score in 1:53. Kilowatt Kid N, who also lacked racing room, was second, 1/2 length back, with Roll With JR third.
