Palone wins five but not Meadows feature

WASHINGTON, PA, May 2, 2024 — Passed in the final turn, Buck Nome (Dover Dan-Lauries Lucky Lady) dug in, reasserted in the lane and captured Thursday’s harness racing feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $13,000 Claiming-Handicap Trot.

Buck Nome quarter-poled to the top for Spencer Kahrig but was challenged by the first-over Pembroke Regal, who edged ahead as the field turned for home but could not completely clear. Under Kahrig’s urging, Buck Nome found more and scored in 1:54.3. HS Winchester shot the Lightning Lane for second, 3/4 lengths back, with Angeliki third.
