Crisp Mane hangs on in tough feature score

WASHINGTON, PA, July 20, 2022 — Challenged inside and out through the lane, Crisp Mane (Sportswriter-Designated Leader) dug deep and captured Wednesday’s harness racing feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $10,000 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.

Forced to a parked-out 27.3 opening quarter, Crisp Mane might have appeared vulnerable late. But when confronted by Vicky Everyday outside and Snuf Enuf Hanover in the Lightning Lane, the 6-year-old mare found more for driver Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. and prevailed in 1:54.2.

Snuf Enuf Hanover was a head back in second, with Vicky Everyday third.

Ron Burke trains Crisp Mane, who now boasts a career bankroll of $336,009, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.

CRISP MANE REPLAY

Wrenn and Burke teamed for three wins on the 11-race card while Mike Wilder also enjoyed a triple.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Thursday when the 11-race program features a $5,744.03 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 PM.
