Sloppy track can’t deter Fighting Evil

WASHINGTON, PA, Feb. 22, 2024 — Fighting Evil (Sweet Lou-Evil Fight) grabbed the lead with a powerful first-over move, then sailed through the slop to capture her second straight harness racing victory in Thursday’s (Feb. 22) feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $12,100 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.

Hammered down to 4-5, Fighting Evil was a patient third down the backside when Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. tipped her off the cones to attack the leader, Arrhythmic Dream. The 6-year-old mare gobbled up that rival and drew off, scoring by 3-1/2 lengths in 1:52. Jillian B Miki and Day To Party completed the ticket.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Friday, first post 12:45 PM.
