Blue Ivy plows through slop to sixth straight score

WASHINGTON, PA, Nov. 30, 2022 — Blue Ivy (Captaintreacherous-Ali Blue) powered through the slop to her sixth straight harness racing victory in Wednesday’s (Nov. 30) $19,200 Filly & Mare Open Handicap Pace at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

The 1-9 favorite, Blue Ivy seized the early lead from post 5, and after Aaron Merriman gave her a 29 second-quarter breather, she easily thwarted the first-over challenge of Ourlittlemiracle.  The 6-year-old mare scored in 1:52.1, 1-1/2 lengths better than the pocket-sitting Irish Daydream, with Ourlittlemiracle third.
