Dismissed at 34-1, Jessiejesorjessica stalked the leader from the pocket, and then blew by in the lane to spring the upset in Monday’s feature at The Meadows, a $10,800 Conditioned Trot.
Trainer/driver Shawn Johnston used his rail position to hustle Jessiejesorjessica to the pocket, which proved to be the ideal spot once Mawegonow turned back all the early challengers. But Jessiejesorjessica was the stronger mare in the lane, downing Maewegonow by a neck in a career-best 1:54.1. Jeffery P rallied for show.
Gina Young campaigns the winner, a four-year-old daughter of Justice Hall-Ziggy Wiggy.
Dan Rawlings and Chris Shaw each piloted three winners on the 13-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows continues Tuesday when the 13-race program features a $51,049.10 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
