Nickie K, who lost her last three races by a total margin less than one length, ended the frustration Monday at The Meadows when she brushed wide to capture the $22,500 Filly & Mare Preferred Trot

.

Shuffled to fifth, Nickie K angled off the pylons for Dan Noble and blazed home in the middle of the track to triumph in 1:55.4 over a “good” surface. Kandor Hanover, the even-money favourite, was second, while early leader Summertime Yankee saved show.

Dan Walski trains Nickie K, an eight-year-old daughter of Ilooklikemymom-Italian Lady who extended her career bankroll to $221,494, for Karen Walski.

Dick Stillings drove three winners on the 15-race card.
