Second straight score for Mystical Peter

WASHINGTON, PA, Oct. 13, 2022 — Mystical Peter (Uncle Peter-Love Me Two Times) moved first over near the three-quarters, gobbled up the leader in mid-stretch and went on to his second straight harness racing win in Thursday’s (Oct. 13) co-feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $12,100 Conditioned Trot.

Mystical Peter was third when Ridge Warren sent him after Killer Instinct. The 6-year-old had little trouble clearing but still had to hold off the rallying Fawn De Touch. He did so by a half a length in a mile that went in 1:55.2 over a “good” surface. Icanflylikeanangel shot the Lightning Lane for show. Todd Keith owns and trains Mystical Pater, who soared over $200,000 in lifetime earnings.

It was the maiden win in 17 outings this year.
