26-1 Shooter Hill upsets in feature pace

WASHINGTON, PA, Oct. 6, 2021 — Shooter Hill blew up the tote board Wednesday at The Meadows when he shot the Lightning Lane to pull off a 26-1 shocker in the harness racing feature, a $9,800 Conditioned Pace.

Youremyobsession cut the fractions but had to expend energy fighting off the first-over challenge of Piketonflash.

While that effort was successful, it opened the door for the pocket-sitting Shooter Hill, who charged through late for Jeremy Indoff to score in 1:56, a neck better than Youremyobsession. Piketonflash saved show.

Jim Rothfuss trains and owns Shooter Hill, a 3-year-old Racing Hill-Pretty Katherine gelding.
