Call For Justice launched an uncovered bid through the backside and wore down Chef Lee in deep stretch to capture Tuesday’s (June 25) co-feature at The Meadows: an $11,500 Conditioned Trot.
Call For Justice was fourth when Dave Palone sent him after Chef Lee. The seven-year-old son of Justice Hall-Mikas Mazurka gradually eroded the leader's margin and downed Chef Lee by a half length in 1:55.1. Lars Perry followed the winner’s cover for show.
Ron Burke trains Call For Justice, who won his second straight and pushed his career bankroll to $581,757, for Burke Racing Stable.
In Tuesday’s companion feature, an $11,500 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace, even-money favourite Sanna Cruza A rolled to a 1:52.3 victory on the front for Tony Hall and trainer Randy Bendis, who owns with Pollack Racing. The six-year-old daughter of Art Major-Weona Beach Girl extended her lifetime earnings to $130,027.
Mike Wilder piloted three winners on the 13-race card.
