Repeat Winners In Meadows Series

It was déjà vu all over again in last night's second leg of the Tom’s OK Lady Trot at the Meadows when the two opening-leg winners, Love U Overandover and Filly Bay, jogged to easy victories in their respective $15,000 divisions. Their wins put them on a collision course for next Wednesday’s final in the series for three-year-old trotting fillies.

Love U Overandover was especially impressive as she made an extended quarter-pole move for Dave Palone and drew off to score by over seven lengths in a career-best 1:57.4. What Millie Says used a first-over move to secure second, while Cutie Pie was a distant third. John Duer trains the homebred daughter of Andover Hall--Love You Most for Peninsula Farm.

Filly Bay went right to the front for Randy Tharps and never had an anxious moment, as she went on to prevail by almost six lengths in 1:59. Im A Centerfold raced well first-over for second. Tomridge Baby Doll completed the ticket. Bill Fahy conditions Filly Bay, a daughter of Chip Chip Hooray--Accompaniment who now has won half her 16 lifetime starts, for Moira Fahy.

In the $22,500 Preferred Trot, Sing Jesse Sing and Palone worked out a perfect pocket trip and triumphed in 1:55.4, the first win in three starts this year for the 2010 Ohio Sire Stakes three-year-old colt champion. TW Little Kosmo finished second, while early leader Superfast Stuart saved show.

Ron Burke trains Sing Jesse Sing, a son of Jailhouse Jesse--Hollybrook Lane, for Burke Racing Stable, Slaughter Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Frank Baldachino. It was one of four wins on the 15-race card for Palone.
