Trotter scores for 15th time this year

WASHINGTON, PA, Dec. 1, 2021 — Jeffery P cruised to his fourth straight — and 15th win this year — in Wednesday’s $16,000 Open Handicap Trot at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

Once Jeffery P seized the lead from post 6, pocketed his most dangerous rival, King Alphonso, and worked out a comfortable 57.4 half, the contest for win was pretty much over.

The 6-year-old Full Count-Betty Jean gelding triumphed in 1:54.1, 2-1/4 lengths better than King Alphonso, with Perlucky a ground-saving third.

Dave Palone drove Jeffery P, who lifted his lifetime bankroll to $362,761, for trainer Ron Burke and owners Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Phillip Collura. It was one of five victories on the 12-race card for Palone.
