Rising MVP Skims Cones To Victory

Published: October 12, 2022 08:06 pm EDT

Rising MVP patiently hugged the cones while watching the dueling leaders, then shot the Lightning Lane to capture Wednesday’s (Oct. 12) feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $15,400 conditioned trot.

As Mind Yown Business and Oberto pursued the leader Joey on the outside, Rising MVP took the most direct route for Aaron Merriman and edged Oberto by a nose in 1:54.1. Joey saved third.

Bill Daugherty, Jr. trains the seven-year-old My MVP-Nutmegs Winner gelding, who now boasts 40 wins and a bankroll of $458,968, for Susan Daugherty. It was one of three wins for Merriman on the 12-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Thursday (Oct. 13) when the 12-race program features a pair of carryovers — $1,392.10 in the final-race Super Hi-5 and $609.67 in the Jackpot Pick 5 (Race 4). First post is 12:45 p.m. (EDT).
