Classicality Clicks In Meadows Preferred
Classicality celebrated his return to The Meadows with an easy victory — his fourth straight at his home track — in Monday’s $18,000 Preferred Handicap Trot.
Classicality turned in subpar efforts in his last two starts at Northfield Park, finishing fifth and seventh with a break. Back in familiar surroundings, he zipped to the lead for Brian Zendt and never had an anxious moment, defeating the ground-saving Charles VII by 4-1/4 lengths in 1:54.3. Call For Justice rallied for show.
Lisa Dunn owns and trains Classicality, an eight-year-old Classic Photo-Penn Worthy Lane gelding who now boasts $557,192 in career earnings.
Aaron Merriman, Mike Wilder and trainer Bill Rhoades each collected a pair of wins on the 11-race card.
