Main Event To Medusa; Five For Hall

Published: December 19, 2016 08:40 pm EST

Medusa powered to the lead from post 7 for Tony Hall and rolled to victory — her 13th this year and second straight — in Monday’s $20,000 Filly & Mare Not Listed Preferred/Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows. It was one of five wins for Hall on the 12-race card.

Once Medusa cleared to the lead, she easily thwarted the first-over challenge of Skippin By and prevailed in 1:53.2 over a “good” surface, a neck better than Certified Ideal, who gave trainer Randy Bendis an exacta sweep. The pocket-sitting Spreester was third.

Tom Pollack and Bendis campaign Medusa, a five-year-old daughter of Bettors Delight-Mythical who now boasts $395,952 in career earnings.
