Heist makes it three straight at The Meadows

WASHINGTON, PA, Oct. 25, 2022 — Heist (Father Patrick-Miss Paris) moved effortlessly three wide down the backside and rolled to his third straight harness racing victory in Tuesday’s (Oct. 25) harness racing co-feature, a $10,900 Conditioned Trot, at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

The 1-5 favorite. Heist was sitting fifth when Dan Charlino sent the 3-year-old after the leader, Pose A Threat. Heist cleared easily and defeated that rival by 2-3/4 lengths in a career-best 1:57.2, with Dynamite Lover third. Scott Betts trains Heist for Tim Betts, Tar Heel Racing and Shanamphilankilou.
