Cowgirl Hall retook the lead past the quarter and never had an anxious moment thereafter as she captured Tuesday’s $20,000 Filly & Mare Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.
Anaffairtoremember stalked the leader from the pocket, but Cowgirl Hall drew further away in the stretch and scored in 1:54.3 for Dave Palone, downing Anaffairtoremember by 2-1/4 lengths. Whata Donato shot the Lightning Lane for show.
Ron Burke trains Cowgirl Hall, a six-year-old daughter of Cash Hall-Centerfold Hall who vaulted over $700,000 in career earnings, for Burke Racing Stable LLC, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, Jack Piatt III and Michael Rosenthal.
Elsewhere on the card, Lil Miss Hot Pants snapped one of harness racing’s longer futility streaks when she broke her maiden in career start 56.
The five-year-old daughter of Christian Cullen-Bronzer Babe used a strong first-over move to triumph in 1:57.4 for Tony Hall, trainer Aaron Johnston and owners Debbie Schoeffel and Marilyn Belsterling.
It was one of four wins on the 14-race program for Hall.
