Glidinthruparadise upsets in Meadows trot

WASHINGTON, PA, May 2, 2018 — Glidinthruparadise kept to her task — even when it seemed she was racing for second — and nailed the 3-5 Expose Yourself in the shadow of the wire in Wednesday’s $20,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.

Seeking her fourth straight victory, Expose Yourself appeared to put the field away with a blistering 27.3 third quarter. But the 5-1 Glidinthruparadise, still chasing from the two hole, dug deep for trainer/driver Brian Zendt and downed Expose Yourself by a length in 1:54, matching her career best. Dreamsteeler finished third.

Lisa Dunn owns Glidinthruparadise, a 5-year-old daughter of Yankee Glide-Chowda who now boasts $173,408 in career earnings.

Tony Hall and Zendt each piloted three winners on the 12-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows resumes Saturday, when the Kentucky Derby Day card features $229,288 in Pennsylvania Sires Stakes, a $15,000 total-pool guarantee for the Pick 4, a $5,000 total-pool guarantee for the Pick 5 and a variety of fan-centered activities, including drink and beverage specials, live music and raffles. Special post time Saturday is 11:25 AM.
