The triumph may have been only her second victory in 54 career starts, but it was a thing of beauty when Gamine overpowered the field first over and captured the Wednesday, July 31 co-feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $15,139 conditioned pace for fillies and mares.

Gamine was fourth when she unleashed a backside burst for Ronnie Wrenn Jr. that propelled her past the leader, Coco Chia. The four-year-old daughter of Artspeak-Lu Lu Q widened her advantage from there, scoring in a lifetime best 1:52.3. Lorraine J chased the winner home to finish second, 4-1/4 lengths back, while Made It was third. Dean Collins owns and trains Gamine.

In Wednesday’s other $15,139 co-features, Sonic Boomer, the 1-9 favourite, lived up to expectations in a stallion and gelding conditioned trot, seizing the early lead, working out a leisurely :58.3 opening half and cruising home in 1:56.2 for Mike Wilder, trainer Randy Bendis and owner Randy Carlyle. The victory margin was 5-1/2 lengths.

Cinnamon Crisp demolished the field in a filly and mare conditioned pace by 10-1/4 lengths in 1:53.3 for the fastest win of her career. Wrenn drove the three-year-old filly for trainer Ron Burke and owners Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi.

Dave Palone piloted four winners on the 13-race card, including a pair for trainer Johnny Yoder, while Wrenn fashioned a three-bagger.

Live harness racing at The Meadows continues on Thursday, Aug. 1, with first post at 12:45 p.m.
