Silly But Serious had little trouble overcoming post eight, romping to her third straight victory in Thursday’s feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $12,500 filly & mare claiming handicap pace.

Although Silly But Serious was parked for most of the opening panel, she was untouchable once she crossed over for Dave Palone. The six-year-old daughter of Captaintreacherous-I Need Hotstuff faced no serious challenges and drew off to score by 4-1/4 lengths in 1:52.3. Twin B Hello and Always A Z Tam rounded out the ticket.

Brandon Presto trains Silly But Serious, who now boasts a career bankroll of $128,906, for Ameer Najor. It was one of four wins for Palone on the 12-race card.

Live harness racing at The Meadows continues Friday when the 12-race program features a $608.75 carryover in the Pick 5 (Race 8). First post is 12:45 p.m.
