Parked the opening panel in :27.1, Trick Of The Light nevertheless had enough in the tank to capture the Wednesday, Nov. 6 feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $17,778 conditioned pace for fillies and mares.
Sent off as the 1-5 favourite, Trick Of The Light faced only one serious challenge, the first-over bid of Im Offngone N. But Trick Of The Light shrugged that off and went on to prevail for Dave Palone in 1:52.1. Better Double Flip was a ground-saving second, beaten a half length, while Im Offngone N persevered for show.
Virgil Morgan Jr. trains the winner, a five-year-old daughter of Odds On Equuleus-Gordjus who lifted her lifetime earnings to $646,783, for Odds On Racing.
Palone collected three wins on the 13-race program, giving him 20,998 career victories.
Live harness racing at The Meadows continues on Thursday, Nov. 7 when the 13-race program kicks off at 12:45 p.m.
