Top Honours For Do Me Honor
Do Me Honor settled into the pocket, then blew by the leader in the lane to capture Monday’s $24,800 Filly & Mare Not Listed Preferred/Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows.
Do Me Honor got away first but yielded to Novascotia Hanover, who was hard-used from Post 9 to make the front. When the field turned for home, Do Me Honor responded to Aaron Merriman’s urging and brushed clear to score in 1:52.1. Tremor Hanover raced well from Post 10 to be second, while Nice Party shot the Lightning Lane for show.
Bill Bercury owns and trains Do Me Honor, a six-year-old daughter of Cheyenne Rei-Do Me Right who was won 18 races over the past two seasons and $476,724 in her career.
