WASHINGTON, PA, Jan. 14, 2021 — Hammered down to 1-2 despite post 9, All Day Sunshine made all that money look smart as she overcame a brutal first quarter to win her third straight in Thursday's harness racing feature at The Meadows, a $9,100 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.
Morning Shadow stretched All Day Sunshine to a 26.4 opening panel before the 4-year-old daughter of Sunshine Beach-Mustang Kensley could cross over.
But when Dan Rawlings gave her a 29.1 second-quarter breather, All Day Sunshine was home free.
She scored in 1:53.2, 2-1/4 lengths better than Morning Shadow, with Dorothy's Legacy third.
Paul Corey trains the winner, who boosted her career bankroll to $164,763, for Kenneth Ashba.
