Liteningonthebeach holds on to the wire

WASHINGTON, PA, June 1, 2024 — Liteningonthebeach (Downbytheseaside-Peanutbettor Shake) held off the determined Boozin N Cruisin and triumphed in a career-best 1:49.4 in Saturday’s (June 1) harness racing feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $12,500 Conditioned Pace.

Hammered down to 1-5, Liteningonthebeach threw down a swift 1:22.1 three-quarters but could not shake the pocket-sitting Boozin N Cruisin, who inched closer in the stretch. But the 4-year-old gelding dug in for Aaron Merriman and downed Boozin N Cruisin by a neck, with Be Dazzled Lou A third.
