Southwind Aussi Shocks Them At Meadows
Southwind Aussi stretched out Somemiki Hanover to the quarter, then blew by her in the lane to pull off a 27-1 shocker in Thursday’s feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $10,300 Filly & Mare conditioned pace.
The strategy of Southwind Aussi and Jeremy Indof forced Somemiki Hanover to a swift :55.4 half that made her vulnerable to the late charge of Southwind Aussie, who scored in a career best 1:53. Somemiki Hanover saved place, two lengths back, while Bittrsweetsymphony finished third.
Alan Davadik trains the winner, a four-year-old daughter of Betting Line-A And Gs Princess, for Mike Callipare, Lori Callipare, Mark Sosovicka and David Sosovicka.
