Dew N Doughnuts kicked by the leader, Visible Gold, in the sloppy Lightning Lane to capture Wednesday’s $20,000 Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows.

Dew N Doughnuts had a chance last week to upset Visible Gold in the Lightning Lane but fell a nose short. On Wednesday, the dive-year-old son of Real Desire-Artbitration moved determinedly for Mike Wilder and nailed the 1-1 favourite by 2-1/4 lengths in 1:55.3. The first-over Desperation raced well for show.

Norm Parker trains Dew N Doughnuts, who extended his career bankroll to $181,895, for owner/breeder Thomas Klosky Jr.

Brady Brown and Mike Wilder each piloted a pair of winners on the 14-race card.
