Mare pounces on dueling male rivals

WASHINGTON, PA, Feb. 23, 2023 — Fawn De Touched (Touchdown Town-Nicole Hall) pounced on the dueling leaders in deep stretch and captured Thursday’s (Feb. 23) harness racing feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $15,400 Conditioned Trot.

While Windsong Patriot and Whiskey Blu battled head-to-head for much of the third quarter, Fawn De Touch took it all in, trotting patiently in seventh. When Brady Brown showed her racetrack in the lane and cut her loose, the 5-year-old mare overtook the pair in the shadow of the wire, triumphing in 1:55. Windsong Patriot was a neck back in second, with Whiskey Blu third.

FAWN De TOUCHED REPLAY

Miles Wollam owns and trains Fawn De Touch, who now has banked $128,594 in her career.

Hunter Myers, Dave Palone, Ridge Warren and Brown joined trainers Stacey Currie and Jacob Fox with doubles on the 13-race card.

There were no winners in the final Pentafecta of the Wednesday card at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows. That resulted in a carryover of more than $1,800.

The Meadows, in conjunction with the Meadows Standardbred Owners Association and the USTA’s Strategic Wagering program, will guarantee the pool to $5,000 for the initial Pentafecta on Friday (February 24), which will be in Race #4. Post time for the first race on Friday is 12:45pm Eastern.
