'Hottie' Helps Boost Win Totals For Team
Red Star Hottie charged through the Lightning Lane at The Meadows to capture Friday’s $22,500 Filly & Mare Not Listed Preferred/Preferred Handicap Pace
.
Away second behind the streaking Mud Pie Hanover, who was seeking the fifth win in her last six starts, Red Star Hottie brushed late for Dave Palone and scored in 1:53.1, defeating the game Mud Pie Hanover by a length. Tremor Hanover rallied for show.
Ron Burke trains Red Star Hottie, a six-year-old daughter of As Promised-Whitehorse Fever who now boasts a lifetime bankroll of $519,865, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.
Palone drove five winners — three for Burke — on the 13-race card.
Live racing resumes Saturday at The Meadows with a special make-up program beginning at 6:55 p.m.
