Anythingforlove A opened up a four-length lead at three-quarters and cruised home to capture the $20,000 Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows on Saturday, Dec. 8.

After four-consecutive pocket trips producing runner-up finishes, Anythingforlove A blasted to the front for driver Aaron Merriman and settled matters early. He scored in 1:53.1, three-quarter lengths better than the first-over Hawks Red Chief with Dapper Dude third.

Bill Bercury trains the winner, a six-year-old Rock N Roll Heaven-The Perfect Mona gelding who vaulted over $200,000 in career earnings, for Renee Bercury.

Jim Pantaleano piloted four winners and Mike Wilder three on the 13-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows resumes Monday, Dec. 10 when the program features a $1,875.60 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5.
