Jojo N Goliath effectively used cover to set up a spirited stretch drive that carried him to victory in Wednesday’s $25,000 Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap at The Meadows, his second straight win in the track’s top pace

.

Leaving from Post 7, Jojo N Goliath got away fifth before Eric Ledford tipped him off the pylons behind the first-over War Boots, who cleared to the lead in the stretch but couldn’t match the winner’s better trip. Jojo N Goliath downed War Boots by a neck in 1:50.4 over a sloppy surface, with Rock N Roll Star a rallying third.

Paul Kennedy trains Jojo N Goliath, a four-year-old Keystone Raider-Jo Jo Cadet gelding, who extended his career bankroll to $225,790, for Daniel and Thomas Courtemanche.

Ledford and Dave Palone each drove three winners on the 13-race card.
