Spotting the leader 5-1/2 lengths, Jojo N Goliath roared up with a powerful uncovered move that carried him to victory in a sharp 1:50.3 in Tuesday’s $22,500 Preferred Handicap Pace
at The Meadows.
Jojo N Goliath was sitting fifth down the backside when Eric Ledford sent him after the leader, Fred And Ginger. The five-year-old Keystone Raider-Jo Jo Cadet gelding gobbled up Fred And Ginger by the three-quarters, clicking off the back half in :54.4, and downed the fast-closing Object Of Art by 2-1/4 lengths. Fred And Ginger saved show.
Paul Kennedy trains Jojo N Goliath, who now boasts $416,003 in lifetime earnings in his harness racing career, for Daniel and Thomas Courtemanche.
Tony Hall, Dave Palone and Ledford each drove three winners on the 16-race card.
