Wild Wild Western retook the lead near the three-eighths and found the wire just in time to capture the $17,900 Open Handicap Pace on Wednesday (Nov. 18) at The Meadows.

Wild Wild Western opened a two-length lead past the three-quarters but found himself under siege late from Rock Candy to the outside and Carolina Beach in the Lightning Lane. The four-year-old son of Western Ideal-Caila Fra had enough in the tank to score for Tony Hall in 1:50.4, a half-length better than Rock Candy with Carolina Beach third.

Norm Parker trains Wild Wild Western, who boosted his career bankroll to $246,815, for Jacobs Creek Racing, Andrew Altobelli and John Deters.

Dave Palone collected three victories on the 13-race card while, for the third time in as many weeks, 13 different trainers each one a race.

Live racing at The Meadows resumes Monday (Nov. 23), first post 12:45 p.m. (EST).
