Circle The Page Springs Upset
Dismissed at 37-1, Circle The Page attacked relentlessly first over and pulled off the shocker in Monday’s (Dec. 28) feature at The Meadows: a $9,400 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.
Circle The Page was sixth, seven-and-a-half lengths in arrears, when driver Chris Shaw sent her after the leader, Hedges Avenue A. The six-year-old daughter of Real Artist-Queen Marie edged in front through the final turn and went on to score in 1:55.3 over a “good” surface. Amelia’s Courage shot the Lightning Lane for second, a neck back, with Our GG third.
John Sullivan trains Circle The Page, who now boasts a career bankroll of $284,750, for Michael Marocco.
Brady Brown and trainer Scott Betts each enjoyed a three-bagger on the 13-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows continues Tuesday (Dec. 29) when the 13-race program features a $2,540.37 carryover in the Pick 5 (Race 8). First post is 12:45 p.m. (EST).
