Palone nails seven winners including feature

WASHINGTON, PA, Nov. 3, 2021 — Jeffery P called the shots on the front but still had to hold off the late challenge of Keystone Chaos to capture Wednesday’s $16,000 Open Handicap Trot at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

The 3-5 favorite, Jeffery P rolled through a 1:24.3 three quarters without a threat. When Keystone Chaos closed in, the 6-year-old Full Count-Betty Jean gelding responded to Dave Palone’s urging and defeated Keystone Chaos by 1-1/2 lengths in 1:53.1. Just Like Magic completed the ticket.

Ron Burke trains Jeffery P, who won for the 12th time this year and lifted his lifetime bankroll to $337,961, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Phillip Collura.

It was one of seven wins on the 12-race card for Palone, including three each for Burke and trainer Dirk Simpson. With those seven wins, Palone now has 19,750 career winners he has driven.
