Tipitina Triumphs In Meadows Preferred

Tipitina stalked Shady Caroline from the pocket, then rolled by her in the lane to capture Monday’s $13,500 Filly & Mare Not Listed Preferred Pace at The Meadows.

Shady Caroline cut honest fractions of :27.1, :56.2 and 1:24.4 over a “good” surface but couldn’t shake Tipitina, who pulled the pocket out of the final turn for Aaron Merriman. The six-year-old daughter of Rocknroll Hanover-Hi Ho Molly scored in 1:52.4, two lengths better than Shady Caroline. Classic Carpet rallied for show.

Mark Goldberg trains Tipitina, who won her second straight and extended her career bankroll to $351,549, for Rags To Riches Of PA.

Merriman collected four wins on the 14-race card while Dan Rawlings and Goldberg each enjoyed a triple.
