The Meadows Racetrack & Casino and its community of horsemen and horsewomen stood up to cancer Saturday with two special races to help fund breast cancer awareness
.
The track and the Meadows Standardbred Owners Association (MSOA), which coordinated the event, donated all commissions from the races to the Magee Women’s Hospital Breast Cancer Program. Funds raised Saturday will enhance the more than $12,000 already provided by The Meadows and the MSOA through previous events.
In the Breast Cancer Awareness Trot, which featured female drivers, Cherie Keith guided Sweet Elly Mae to victory while Danita Harvey and her daughter Nikki Harvey finished second and third, respectively, with Yankee Elizabeth and Stiletto.
Dean Zaimes captured the Breast Cancer Awareness Pace, which was limited to drivers with fewer than 50 wins this year at The Meadows, behind Captain Greg. Tyler Stillings (Odds On BP) and Brad Provost (Therealshowstopper) completed the ticket.
Tony Hall won seven of the remaining 11 races on the card, including five in a row beginning with Race 7.
