Continualou Ends Lady Newton's Streak

Continualou retook the lead from Lady Newton at the half and drew away from her late to capture Tuesday’s feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $12,100 filly & mare conditioned pace.

Lady Newton was riding a five-race winning streak, but Dave Palone and Continualou wanted no part of the pocket. The aggressive move paid off, as Continualou downed Lady Newton by three lengths in 1:51.3, with All Day Sunshine third.

Ron Burke trains Continualou, a three-year-old daughter of Sweet Lou-Continual Velocity who lifted her career earnings to $349,854, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.

Burke collected four wins and Aaron Merriman three on the 12-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Wednesday when the 12-race program features a $2,953.75 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
