Seatoshiningsea made a splashy career debut Saturday (July 9) at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, using an impressive uncovered move to capture a division of a Pop Up Series. Roman Nudus took the other $8,000 second-leg split in the event for two-year-old colt and gelding pacers.

Seatoshiningsea looked sharp in a pair of qualifiers, showing a propensity for passing rivals. He did just that Saturday when Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. moved him from fifth down the backside. The son of Downbytheseaside-America Rocks wore down the leader, Essie, and defeated him by three-quarters of a length in 1:55.2. Live Love Lindy earned show.

Ron Burke trains Seatoshiningsea for Burke Racing Stable, Wingfield Five, RAS Racing and Knox Services.

Roman Nudus pulled the pocket past the three-quarters and scored easily in 1:56.4 for Ronnie Gillespie and owner/trainer Susan Sickle. Recollect was three parts of a length back in second, with Bet Cha Win Blue third.

Dave Palone piloted three winners on the 11-race card.

Live harness racing at The Meadows resumes Wednesday when the 12-race program features a pair of stakes for freshman colt and gelding trotters: a $152,430 Pennsylvania Sires Stake and a $60,000 PA Stallion Series event. On the wagering front, the card offers a $1,153.46 carryover in the Jackpot Pick 5 (race 4) as well as a $455.76 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
