Kandian Klub Scores Lightning Lane Win
Kandian Klub worked out the perfect pocket trip, then brushed through the Lightning Lane to capture Friday’s $18,000 Filly & Mare Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.
Hustled from the gate by Dave Palone, Kandian Klub settled into the pocket behind Whata Donato, who carried her to the stretch. The five-year-old daughter of Pegasus Spur-KT Dee Dee was the stronger mare late, downing Whata Donato by half a length in 1:54.3. Longshot Express Justice rallied for show.
Ron Burke trains Kandian Klub, who now boasts $191,593 in career earnings, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.
Palone and Burke each enjoyed a triple on the 16-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows resumes Monday, when the card features a pair of total pool guarantees — $5,000 for the Pick 4 and $7,500 for the Pick 5. First post is 12:55 p.m.
