Dontcallmefrancis Tops In N.A.

Dontcallmefrancis zipped to the lead from post six and never had an anxious moment as he rolled to his 14th victory this year to land him in a tie atop the North American harness racing leaderboard for the most wins this year.

Racing in Saturday afternoon’s feature at The Meadows, a $10,800 Claiming Handicap Pace, Dontcallmefrancis and driver Dave Palone drew off late to defeat the rallying Cinnamack by six lengths in 1:51.3, with Sweet Beach third.

Jason Seymour owns and trains the winner, who extended his lifetime bankroll to $508,076. The win places him in a tie for the most wins this season along with Catch Me Conrad and Swan Fine Lady.

Palone collected five wins and trainer Jason Robinson four on the 12-race card. Aaron Merriman and Seymour also enjoyed big days, with three victories apiece.

Live harness racing at The Meadows resumes Wednesday when the 13-race program features a $48,563.83 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
