Dreamsteeler Best; Five For Palone
Dreamsteeler, who hadn’t been on the lead at any call in her last six starts, zipped to the front for Tony Hall from post 7 and thwarted a pair of challengers en route to victory in Wednesday’s (Aug. 29) $20,000 Fillies and Mares Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.
Dreamsteeler was confronted outside by her stablemate, Glidinthruparadise, and in the Lightning Lane by the ground-saving Youre Majestic. The seven-year-old daughter of Cash Hall and Dream Street held off Youre Majestic by three-quarters of a length in 1:54.2, with Glidinthruparadise third.
Ed Zubkoff Jr. trains Dreamsteeler, who lifted her career bankroll to $369,648, for Brookside Stables.
Dave Palone piloted five winners, including a pair each for trainers Randy Bendis and Ron Burke, on the 13-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows resumes Saturday (Sept. 1), when the card features all four $253,000 Pennsylvania Sire Stakes freshman finals as well as $50,000 divisional consolations. First post is 1:05 p.m.
