Macadoodledoo exploited fast early fractions and roared from worst to first to capture Saturday’s $16,000 Open Handicap Pace at The Meadows in a sparkling 1:49.4.

When Wild Wild Western threw down a swift 1:22.1 three-quarters, it set the stage for Macadoodledoo’s exploits. Under Ronnie Wrenn, Jr.’s urging, the six-year-old Somebeachsomewhere-Pirouette Hanover gelding rallied in the four path and defeated Lyons Skipper by 1-1/4 lengths. Whos Better shot the Lightning Lane for show.

Ron Burke trains the winner, who extended his lifetime bankroll to $264,399, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.

Tony Hall collected four wins and Wrenn three on the 13-race card.

Live harness racing at The Meadows resumes Wednesday when a $3,521.37 carryover in the Pick 5 has prompted a total-pool guarantee of $10,000. First post is 12:45 p.m.
