WASHINGTON, PA, Nov. 17, 2021 — Jeffery P abandoned the pocket into the final turn, blew past his stablemate, Perlucky, and rolled to his third straight harness racing victory in Wednesday’s $17,600 Open Handicap Trot at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.
Jeffery P was content to sit second for the middle half, but when Dave Palone asked him for trot, the 6-year-old Full Count-Betty Jean gelding instantly accelerated and scored by 2 lengths in 1:53.1. King Alphonso in the Lightning Lane and the first-over Just Like Magic completed the ticket.
Jeffery P triumphed for the 14th time this year and lifted his career bankroll to $354,761. Ron Burke trains him for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Phillip Collura.
