Favorite cruises in Meadows feature trot

WASHINGTON, PA, Dec. 21, 2022 — Lady’s Dude (Victory Sam-Lady’s Star), the 3-5 favorite, enjoyed a second-quarter breather, then jogged to victory in Wednesday’s (Dec. 21) harness racing feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $15,400 Conditioned Trot.

Once Dave Palone worked out that 30 second panel for Lady’s Dude, the race for win was effectively owner. Lady’s Dude scored in 1:55, 1/2 length better than Mind Yown Business in the Lightning Lane, with Fawn De Touch a rallying third. It was one of four wins for Palone on the 13-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Thursday when the 13-race program features a pair of carryovers — $7,034.25 in the Jackpot Pick 5 (race 4), $2,428.87 in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 PM.
