Perlucky Pounces Again At The Meadows
It was déjà vu all over again Tuesday (July 14) at The Meadows as, for their second straight encounter, Perlucky outkicked Icanflylikeanangel in the open stretch to capture the $17,900 Open Handicap Trot.
As in that earlier meeting, Perlucky stretched out Icanflylikeanangel to a :27 opening panel before releasing him. In the lane, Perlucky brushed by for Dave Palone, downing his rival by 3/4 lengths in 1:53.1. Rainbowinthewest, the lone mare in the field, rallied for show.

Ron Burke trains Perlucky, a five-year-old Lucky Chucky Paper Girl gelding who now boasts a career bankroll of $448,011, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Phillip Collura.
Palone, who piloted five winners Monday, matched that total Tuesday. Mike Wilder also enjoyed a fine day with three wins on the 15-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows continues Wednesday when the 15-race program features a $6,792.07 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m. (EDT).
