Upset in Meadows feature trot

WASHINGTON, PA, Sept. 30, 2021 — Mystical Peter sustained a long uncovered move that carried him to an 8-1 upset harness racing victory in Thursday’s feature at The Meadows, a $12,100 Conditioned Trot.

While the lead changed hands a number of times early on, Mystical Peter and Hunter Myers sat chilly in fourth.

When Myers asked the 5-year-old Uncle Peter-Love Me Two Times gelding for trot midway down the backside, he wore down the leader, Donatover, and scored in 1:54.3.

Keystone Chaos shot the Lightning Lane for second, a neck back, while Donatover saved show.

Todd Keith owns and trains Mystical Peter, who pushed his lifetime bankroll to $142,677.
