Codys Watching fights back for icy victory

WASHINGTON, PA, Nov. 15, 2022  — Passed by Dancin Sancho through the final turn, Codys Watching (He’s Watching-Shellyssilvermoon) reasserted in the lane to gain a gritty harness racing victory in Tuesday’s (Nov. 15) feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $13,600 Conditioned Pace.

Dancin Sancho moved powerfully first over and appeared to put Codys Watching away. But the 4-year-old gelding responded to Aaron Merriman’s urging and edged Dancin Sancho by x in 1:54 over a sloppy surface. Silver Maple finished third.

Randy Bendis trains Codys Watching and owns with Pollack Racing LLC.

Ridge Warren piloted four winners while trainer Brandon Presto and Merriman each enjoyed a three-bagger.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Wednesday when the 12-race program features a pair of carryovers:  $715.55 in the final-race Jackpot Super Hi-5, $257.40 in the Jackpot Pick 5 (race 4). First post is 12:45 PM.
