Howard Hughes N scores with strong stretch drive

WASHINGTON, PA, Feb. 24, , 2023 — Howard Hughes N (Bettor’s Delight-Heavenly Franco N) shot the Lightning Lane and overpowered the game leader, Carolina Beach, to capture Friday’s (Feb. 24) harness racing feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $15,400 Conditioned Pace.

Howard Hughes N was shy of the lead in recent weeks, but there was nothing reclusive about the 7-year-old gelding on Saturday. He zipped forward for driver Hunter Myers from post 7, dropped in behind Carolina Beach and outkicked him, downing him by 1-1/4 lengths in 1:52.2. San Domino A finished third.
