When You Dance moved relentlessly first over, wore down the leader late and captured Monday’s feature at The Meadows, a $13,500 Conditioned Pace.
When You Dance was third down the backside when Jim Pantaleano sent him after Go West Go Fast, who was racing off a layoff but duelled evenly with the challenger until-mid stretch. When You Dance edged away and held off the Lightning Lane charge of Enoch by a half-length margin in 1:51.3. Go West Go Fast saved show.
Christen Pantaleano owns and trains When You Dance, a four-year-old Mach Three-Armbro Dancer gelding who lifted his career bankroll to $163,047.
Jim Pantaleano collected four wins on the 12-race card while Dave Palone and trainer Ron Burke each enjoyed a triple.
Live racing at The Meadows continues Tuesday, when the program features an $11,525.29 carryover in the final-race Super-Hi 5. First post is 1:05 p.m.
