High Fives For Guido Di And Wilder

Guido Di winning at The Meadows

For the fifth straight time, Guido Di showed his heels to the top trotters at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, winning Friday’s $28,649 Open Handicap Trot.

To be sure, Guido Di lost in a pair of six-figure events at other tracks during his current Meadows streak. But even post nine couldn’t beat the five-year-old Wishing Stone-Focus On Me gelding on Friday, as he reached the point before the quarter for Brady Brown and wasn’t seriously challenged thereafter.

Saint K tried to make a race of it, moving first-over from third, but Guido Di downed him by a length in 1:53.3. Tequila Talkin finished third.

Steve Schoeffel trains Guido Di, who now boasts a lifetime bankroll of $406,612, for Kathy Schoeffel, Marian Schilling and Lewis Falton.

Driver Mike Wilder collected five wins on the 13-race card, including two for trainer Norm Parker, while Ronnie Wrenn Jr. enjoyed a triple.

Saturday’s program at The Meadows features a $1,705.76 carryover in the Early Pentafecta (Race 4). First post is 12:45 p.m.
