Exploiting torrid fractions, Big Bang Bang pounced on the leaders first-over and pulled off the 6-1 upset in Wednesday’s feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $10,300 conditioned pace.

Louie, the 3-5 favourite, was parked well past the quarter and was forced to a swift :55.3 half. That was the signal for trainer/driver Dan Rawlings to move Big Bang Bang from third. The four-year-old Believeinbruiser-Shytown Lightning gelding defeated the game Louie by three-quarters of a length in a career-best 1:52.2, with Super Hero Hanover a rallying third.
