A seven-race maiden entering the race, True Seelster powered first over to upset 4-5 favourite Imelda Hanover and capture Wednesday’s (March 8) $11,000 opening leg of the Donna Dunn Memorial Pace at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.
The series for three- and four-year-old fillies and mares honours the memory of the late Donna Dunn, longtime Standardbred owner and the wife of the late driver/trainer/owner/breeder Walter “Boots” Dunn.
Imelda Hanover faced little pressure up front until trainer-driver Brady Jenson moved True Seelster from third. The three-year-old daughter of All Bets Off-Tanis Seelster drew even with Imelda Hanover and surged ahead in deep stretch, downing the favourite by three-quarter lengths in 1:54.2. Beth Dutton finished third.
George and Jerry Kehm own True Seelster.
Trainer Ron Burke fashioned a four-bagger on the 13-race card while Aaron Merriman and Ronnie Wrenn Jr. each piloted three winners.
Live harness racing at The Meadows continues Thursday (March 9) when the 13-race program features the opening legs of a pair of series for three- and four-year old trotters: the Mary Wohlmuth Memorial and the Dale McConnell Memorial. First post is 12:45 p.m. (EST).
