Keystone Chaos Earns Lifetime Mark In Meadows Feature

Published: October 6, 2022 07:53 pm EDT

In a race thrown wide open by the break of the leader entering the final turn, Keystone Chaos persevered on the rim and captured Thursday’s (Oct. 6) $19,300 Open Handicap Trot at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

Tequila Talkin, the 4-5 favourite, appeared comfortable on top when he broke stride, leaving Joey to inherit the lead along the cones. Though he had been challenging without cover for some time, Keystone Chaos wore Joey down and scored in a career-best 1:53.2 for Brian Zendt. Oberto rallied for second, a half length back, while Joey saved show.

A five-year-old Andover Hall-Keystone Cola gelding, Keystone Chaos now boasts a lifetime bankroll of $189,471 for trainer Jim Daugherty and owner Michele Daugherty.

Aaron Merriman collected four wins and Ridge Warren three on the 13-race card.

Friday’s 13-race program at The Meadows features eight Pennsylvania Fairs championships with $200,000 in total purses. On the wagering front, the card offers a $1,484.49 carryover in the Jackpot Pick 5 (Race 4). First post is 5:10 p.m. (EDT).
