THANK YOU FROM THE MEADOWS
The racing team at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows would like to thank everyone – owners, trainers, drivers and racing fans – for their support of the Adios program this past Saturday. Despite the heat and humidity, we had a great on-track turnout and the handle was strong throughout the day. Everyone’s support is greatly appreciated and we look forward to Adios #60 next summer.
CHANGES COMING TO RACING/STAKE SCHEDULE
Horsemen are advised of a few changes coming up to The Meadows schedule during the month of August. There will be no live racing on Saturday, August 16 due to the annual Corks & Kegs Festival, and no racing August 22-23, as a country music festival will be taking place. Due to those events, a card has been added on Tuesday, August 19. With the full live card that day, there will not be qualifiers that morning. Also, please note that the PA Sire Stake and PA Stallion Series events for 2YO C/G Pacers which was originally scheduled for Friday, August 22 has been moved to Thursday, August 21.
REGULAR SCHEDULE, SATURDAY STAKES THIS WEEK
We will be racing our regularly scheduled post times this week, with action on Wednesday and Thursday at 12:45pm, Friday evening at 5:10 and Saturday at 12:45. Saturday’s card will feature Pennsylvania Sire Stake and Stallion Series action for 2YO colt and gelding trotters.
COUNT TO TWO
A pair of similarly named horses will be in action at The Meadows on Wednesday. Count CC, a 4YO gelding, will compete in the 10th race, a conditioned claiming trot for trainer Randy Bendis. Three races later, Countin On CC, a 3YO filly trotter out of the Miles Wollam Stable will leave from the rail in a NW3 trot. The similar names aren’t a coincidence, as they are full siblings by Full Count out of the mare Balmira CC. Both were bred by Bob Troyer, who retains ownership of the younger filly.
If you would like additional information at any point, please reach out to track announcer Jeff Zidek (jeff.zidek@pennentertainment.com).
