The lone three-year-old in the field, Barn Girl took it to her elders Tuesday at The Meadows when she captured the $18,000 Filly & Mare Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap Trot.

Barn Girl quarter-poled to the lead for Dave Palone but was under serious siege around the final turn. The daughter of Cash Hall-Turquoise Sweetie found another gear, clicking off the final quarter in :28.1 to score in 1:55.1. Mistress Valentine was three-quarters of a length back in second, with Whata Donato third.

Ron Burke trains Barn Girl, who extended her career bankroll to $217,716, for Burke Racing Stable LLC, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Phil Collura.

Tony Hall collected four wins and Palone three on the 15-race card.
