Party In Pink stalked patiently from the pocket, then roared through the "Lightning Lane" to capture Thursday’s (July 7) feature at The Meadows, a $10,300 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.

Party In Pink seized the early lead from post 7 but was content to release Horizon at the quarter. While that one had more outside challengers than she could handle, Anthony MacDonald steered Party In Pink inside, where she scored in 1:53.1. Somemiki Hanover finished second, three-quarter lengths back, while Gottaluvit Hanover rallied for show.

Kevin Johnson trains Party In Pink, a three-year-old daughter of Well Said-Pink Is Perfect, for Bay Pond Racing Stable and Rebecca Williams.

MacDonald collected three wins on the 11-race card, including a pair for trainer Tim Twaddle.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Friday (July 8) when the program features a pair of events for freshman filly pacers: a $165,755 Pennsylvania Sires Stake and an $80,000 PA Stallion Series event. On the wagering front, the 12-race card offers a $13,803.66 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5 as well as a $609.89 carryover in the Jackpot Pick 5 (Race 4). First post is 5:10 p.m. (EDT).
