Windsun Tiara earns lifetime mark in Meadows feature

WASHINGTON, PA, Dec. 28, 2023  — On the bench since Oct. 19, Windsun Tiara (American Ideal-Windsun Princess) returned to the wars on a mission, earning a 1:52.4 lifetime mark — over a “good” surface — in Thursday’s (Dec. 28) harness racing feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, an $11,900 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.

Windsun Tiara yielded to the pocket when All Of Me challenged for the early lead. But when Dave Palone pointed Windsun Tiara to the Lightning Lane, the 3-year-old poured through and defeated the well-meant All Of Me by 3/4 lengths, with PJs Fancy Dancer third.

WINDSUN TIARA REPLAY

Randy Bendis trained Windsun Tiara, who vaulted over $100,000 in career earnings, and owns with Pollack Racing LLC.

Jeremy Indof, Jack Killeen, Hunter Myers, Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. and Palone each enjoyed a double on the 13-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Friday, first post 12:45 PM. Because Friday’s 14-race program is the last of the year, carryovers are not permitted, so the final Pick 4, Pick 5, Superfecta and Pentafecta all will be “must pay.”
