ATI Seaside Cruise retook the lead near the quarter and overpowered the field of freshman filly pacers in Wednesday’s $8,000 opening leg of a Pop Up Series at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

Once Dave Palone gave the daughter of Downbytheseaside-Cruisin Corrine a :31 second quarter breather, the race was effectively over. She scored in 1:57.1 in her second career start, 1-1/4 lengths better than early leader Plausibldniability, with Kelsea Is Money third.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Thursday when the program features a $22,311.97 carryover in the Jackpot Pick 5 (Race 4). First post for the 12-race card is 12:45  p.m.
