Green Magic scores 19-1 upset in Meadows feature

WASHINGTON, PA, May 11, 2024  — Green Magic (Chapter Seven-Vandy’s Magic) peeled off cover past the three-quarters and brushed wide through the sloppy lane to spring the 19-1 upset in Saturday’s (May 11) harness racing feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $15,900 Conditioned Trot.

Up in class off a claim, Green Magic was sixth down the backside when he picked up the live first-over cover of Stay Close. When that one stalled, Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. sent Green Magic wide and asked him for trot. The 5-year-old gelding exploded in the stretch and roared past the leader, Saint K, defeating him by 1/2 length in 1:55.1 over a sloppy surface. Buck Nome rallied from last for show.

Live racing at The Meadows resumes Wednesday when the program features a $550.39 carryover in the Pick5 (race 9). First post is 12:45 PM.
