Rose Run Parker Takes New Mark
Rose Run Parker took the lead at the quarter and coasted to his third straight victory in Wednesday’s $22,500 Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.
Rose Run Parker and Dave Palone let the dust settle before attacking the leader, Tamarind. The five-year-old Jailhouse Jesse-Centergy gelding made the point easily at the quarter and jogged home without a serious challenge. The 1-2 favourite scored in a career-best 1:52.1, one and a quarter lengths better than Tamarind, with the first-over I Know My Chip third.
Ron Burke trains Rose Run Parker, who boosted his lifetime bankroll to $652,990, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and William Haas Jr.
Eric Goodell collected three wins on the 15-race card.
