Jans Luck, whose bid to wire the $25,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Pace field fell a bit short Thursday at the Meadows, got the victory nevertheless when the unofficial winner was disqualified.
Jans Luck and driver Dave Palone rolled to the half in :57, then faced a strong first-over challenge from Vysoke Tatry, who bothered the advancing Spring Break in moving from the pylons.
Vysoke Tatry crossed the wire three-quarters of a length ahead of Jans Luck, but was placed third behind Spring Break for interference. The corrected winning time was 1:54.2.
Ron Burke trains Jans Luck, a five-year-old daughter of Camluck--Jans Scooter who won 15 races in 2008, for Sylvia Burke, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, JJK Stables and M1 Stable.
It was one of five wins on the 13- race card for Palone.
