Ultimate Beachboy took his time making the front, but he was unassailable once he got there, scoring comfortably in Tuesday’s $18,000 Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows.
Ultimate Beachboy was looped from the gate by Sam Hill and raced outside until the three-eighths. But once he collared Sam Hill, the three-year-old Somebeachsomewhere-Ultimate Bet gelding had even more in the tank for Dave Palone, ripping off the last quarter in :27.1 en route to victory in 1:51.2. Sam Hill saved place, three lengths back, with Drumfire A third.
Ron Burke trains Ultimate Beachboy, who extended his career bankroll to $198,810, for Burke Racing Stable LLC, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, M1 Stable and Jack Piatt III.
Brett Miller drove five winners and Palone three on the 15-race card.
