Looped from the gate by Rhythm Of Life and forced to take a seat, Pick Pocket overwhelmed that rival late and triumphed convincingly in Wednesday’s feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, an $18,310 conditioned pace.
Once Anthony MacDonald and Pick Pocket pulled the pocket near the three-quarters, they had little trouble putting away Rhythm Of Life and rolling home in 1:54.2, 2-1/2 lengths better than Mass Market. Momoni De Vie completed the ticket.
Tim Twaddle trains Pick Pocket, who now boasts a career bankroll of $226,067, for TheStable Pick Pocket Group.
Jeremy Indof piloted five winners on the 13-race-card, including a pair for trainer Dirk Simpson, while Dave Palone enjoyed a triple.
