Caught widest in a four-ply battle for the early lead, Expose Yourself persevered, eventually crossed over and had just enough late to capture Wednesday’s (Dec. 5) $20,000 Fillies and Mares Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.
Expose Yourself had to work hard over a sloppy track to overcome post 9 and needed nearly all of the opening three-eighths to reach the point. The four-year-old daughter of Kadabra and Muscle Shirt tired in deep stretch, but found enough for Dave Palone to hold off Chapter Too by a neck in 1:56.2. Glidinthruparadise rallied for show.
Ron Burke trains Expose Yourself, who triumphed for the 11th time this year and boosted her lifetime bankroll to $176,961, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.
Trainer Randy Bendis enjoyed a triple on the 13-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows resumes Saturday (Dec. 8), when the program features a $1,510.10 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5.
