The Gypsy Queen IR extended her winning streak to six with a front-end victory in Wednesday’s feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $16,351 filly and mare conditioned pace.
The Gypsy Queen IR had to share the spotlight with Aaron Merriman, who piloted six winners on the 13-race card, including a pair for trainer Justin Lloyd.
The 3-5 favourite in the feature, The Gypsy Queen IR provided some anxious moments when she bore out the first time through the lane. But Ronnie Wrenn Jr. wrangled her back to the cones and rolled on to score by 3-1/2 lengths in 1:53. The pocket-sitting Hillbilly Kisses and the first-over Catch N Kill rounded out the ticket.
Michael Burke trains the winner, a six-year-old daughter of Foreclosure N-Cannae Diamonds who now has banked nearly $125,000, for Burke Racing Stable.
Wrenn collected three wins on the card, including two for Burke.
Live harness racing at The Meadows continues on Thursday, with first post at 12:45 p.m.
