Jans Luck enjoyed a second-quarter breather, then powered home to capture the $27,500 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Pace Monday at The Meadows, her 30th victory in 2008-2009 and one of seven driving wins on the 13-race card for Dave Palone
.
After that relaxing second panel in :30.1, Jans Luck blazed the back half in :55.4 to score in 1:53.4, a half length better than the pocket-sitting Au Dragon. Natalie, tiring from a tough first-over trip, saved show.
Ron Burke trains Jans Luck, a five-year-old daughter of Camluck-Jans Scooter who now boasts career earnings of $776,338, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, JJK Stables and M1 Stable.
Palone scored three times for Burke and twice for trainer Ricky Stamm.
