Trailing by six lengths at the three-quarters, My Cherry Pie turned on the jets in the lane and pulled off a 7-1 upset in Wednesday’s (Nov. 21) $20,000 Fillies and Mares Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.
Making her Meadows debut for trainer Dane Snyder and owners Linwood Higgins, Jason Ash, Vicki Gordon and Liz Flohr, My Cherry Pie was content to sit in and let Ready Any Time front a comfortable :58.1 half. But when Mike Wilder asked her for trot, the four-year-old daughter of Donato Hanover and CR Ms American Pie found another gear and edged Ready Any Time by a head in 1:56.1. Expose Yourself finished third.
My Cherry Pie extended her career bankroll to $143,666.
Dave Palone, Wilder and trainer Spencer Kahrig each fashioned a triple on the 13-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows resumes Saturday (Nov. 24). First post is 1:05 p.m.
