Speed Bomb carved out comfortable fractions on the lead, then waltzed home Wednesday to capture the $25,000 Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows

.

Though Speed Bomb left from Post 8, Dave Palone guided him through a leisurely first half of :58.4 over a sloppy surface. The seven-year-old son of Master Lavec-Mighty JC encountered no challengers thereafter, scoring in 1:57.3. Goldn Chip Chip rallied from well back for second, a length in arrears, with Primo Spur third.

Ron Burke trains Speed Bomb, who extended his career bankroll to $474,912, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, JJK Stables and Phillip Collura.

Brett Miller drove five winners on the 15-race card, giving him nine victories over the past two programs.
