Lighting Lane triumph for Something Reel

WASHINGTON, PA, Aug. 25, 2021 —Something Reel collected her third straight harness racing win in a career-best 1:51.4 in Wednesday’s feature at The Meadows, a $12,100 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.

Something Reel released All Day Sunshine to the lead in the first panel and yielded to the pocket, but when driver Dave Palone said go, the 5-year-old daughter of Westwardho Hanover-I’m A Realist was the fresher mare, zipping through the Lightning Lane to down All Day Sunshine by 3/4 lengths. Amelias Courage A was a ground-saving third.

Brandon Presto trains Something Reel, who lifted her lifetime bankroll to $168,395, for Larry Parlin.
