Windsong Patriot exploded to the top from post five and never had an anxious moment as he captured Wednesday’s feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $17,361 conditioned trot.

A potential stretch duel between Windsong Patriot and the pocket-sitting Wallet never developed, as Wallet jumped it off at the top of the lane, leaving Windsong Patriot and Hunter Myers unchallenged. The eight-year-old E L Titan-Windsong Idol gelding triumphed in 1:54, 1-1/4 lengths better than Rising MVP, with Big Boy Ernest third. 

Trainer Melanie O’Donnell co-owns Windsong Patriot, who soared over $340,000 in career earnings, with Corey Hendricks.

Dave Palone collected four wins, including three for trainer Sandy Sokol and owners Jeff Demiere and Howard Balis, on the 13-race card. 

Live harness racing at The Meadows continues on Thursday when the program features a $788.87 in the Early Pentafecta (race four). First post is 12:45 p.m.
