Trailing by nine lengths after the quarter, Ohio invader Sea Shadows launched a relentless uncovered move that carried her to her fifth consecutive victory in the $20,000 Filly & Mare Open Handicap Pace at The Meadows on Tuesday, Oct. 8.
Her previous wins in the streak came at Scioto Downs and Northfield Park, but Sea Shadows had no trouble with her new environment. Once Kurt Sugg got her in gear, the four-year-old daughter of Shadow Play-Cameron D Art collared Touchamatic in deep stretch and downed her by half length in 1:50.1. McDazzle rallied for show.

In Tuesday’s co-feature, the $18,000 Open Handicap Trot, Barn Girl zipped to the front from post 5 and held off the passing-lane charge of Donatover by half length to capture her 10th win this year. Youre Majestic completed the ticket.
Aaron Merriman piloted the seven-year-old daughter of Cash Hall-Turquoise Sweetie for trainer Bill Bercury and owner Renee Bercury. Barn Girl extended her lifetime bankroll to $843,328.
Tony Hall collected four wins on the 13-race card.
