WASHINGTON, PA, Aug. 17, 2023 — Stuck with post 8, Trashytonguetalker (Art’s Chip-The Panishing Girl) was forced to a three-wide, 26.3 opening panel before he could cross over. And it didn’t bother him a bit, as he kept pouring it on en route to a 5-1/2 length rout in Thursday’s (Aug. 17) harness racing feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $14,000 Claiming Handicap Pace.
Dave Palone was able to give him a 29.1 second-quarter breather, and that was all the 11-year-old needed. He triumphed in 1:52.1 for his second straight victory as Big Bang Bang and Forkner Hanover completed the ticket.
