Joygo Shoots Through For Meadows Feature Win
Joygo waited patiently while his rivals duelled for the lead then poured through the Lightning Lane to capture Friday’s feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $12,100 conditioned trot.
While Favorite Aunt and Crazy Supersport took turns on the point, Joygo saved ground in third. When Mike Wilder called on Joygo, the four-year-old Nuncio-Eleventeen gelding brushed inside and scored in 1:54.2, a neck better than Crazy Supersport. Bigly rallied for show.
Lance Barber trains Joygo and owns with Sonya Barber.
Ronnie Wrenn Jr. and Wilder each piloted three winners on the 12-race card.
Saturday’s program at The Meadows features the $95,790 Currier & Ives for three-year-old colt and gelding trotters. The field is headlined by Rumble Strips, whose win in 1:53.2 last year at the Delaware Fair made him the fastest freshman trotter ever on a half-mile track. The Currier & Ives goes as races eight and 10, with first post at 12:45 p.m.
