Hawaiianphotograph has memorized the script — get to the front, back down the second quarter, sprint home — and she performed it flawlessly once more Friday at The Meadows to capture her third straight $27,500 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Trot
.
Brian Zendt hustled Hawaiianphotograph to the lead from Post 6 in :27.3, then worked out a second panel in :29.2. With that breather, the four-year-old daughter of SJs Photo-Hawaiian Rose blazed an unchallenged back half in :57.3 and scored in 1:54.3. Teagan finished 3-1/2 lengths back in second while BVs Sister was a clear third.
Bill Zendt trains Hawaiianphotograph, who now has won 17 of 50 career starts and $341,234, for Shanamphilaniklou.
Aaron Merriman drove three winners on the 13-race card.
