Mystical Peter casts spell over field

WASHINGTON, PA, Oct. 26, 2022 — Mystical Peter (Uncle Peter-Love Me Two Times) unleashed a powerful uncovered move down the backside that gobbled up the leader and carried him to an impressive harness racing victory in Wednesday’s (Oct. 26) feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $15,400 Conditioned Trot.

Mystical Peter was fifth when driver Dave Palone sent him after Believer on top. The 6-year-old gelding met little resistance and opened a daylight lead in the lane, scoring by 4-1/4 lengths in 1:55 over a “good” surface.

Icanflylikeanagel rallied for second while Rising MVP shook loose late to complete the ticket.

Todd Keith owns and trains Mystical Peter, who triumphed for the third time in his last four starts and pushed his career bankroll to $213,189.
