First over forever, a game Show Runner somehow found enough late to get by the leader and capture Tuesday’s $20,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows.
Show Runner was fourth past the three-eighths when Jim Pantaleano sent her after Medusa, who appeared to have the race under control following a 30-second breather in the second quarter. But the seven-year-old daughter of Little Steven-Peace Runner kept advancing on the “good” surface and scored in 1:53.3. Spreester shot the Lightning Lane for second, a head back, while Medusa saved show.
Christen Pantaleano trains Show Runner, who extended her lifetime bankroll to $394,431, for A Piece Of The Action LLC.
Jim Pantaleano and Dave Palone each piloted four winners on the 13-race card.
