Lightly regarded at 11-1, Maewegonow found a seam in mid-stretch and barrelled through to capture Tuesday’s (Dec. 22) feature at The Meadows, a $9,800 conditioned trot.
Maewegonow was pinned inside into the final turn, and the Lightning Lane wouldn’t have come fast enough. But when Dan Rawlings edged her out to emerging daylight, the six-year-old daughter of Deweycheatumnhowe and Mauresmo burst through willingly and triumphed in 1:55.1 over a good surface. The first-over Jessiejesorjessica was second, a half length back, with Jeffery P third.
Richard Perfido trains Maewegonow, who pushed her lifetime bankroll to $408,255, for Win Rhythm Stables.
Tony Hall piloted five winners on the 13-race card, including a pair for trainer Kevin Johnson.
Live racing at The Meadows continues Wednesday (Dec. 23), when the 13-race program features a pair of carryovers: $2,411.88 in the final-race Super Hi-5, $1,209.95 in the Pick-5 (races 8-12). First post is 12:45 p.m.
