Tricky Nick, who upset last week at 15-1, delivered again at a price -- this time 8-1 -- in Friday’s feature at The Meadows, an $11,000 Conditioned Trot.
Tricky Nick was fourth near the three-quarters when he launched the decisive, uncovered move for Jim Pantaleano, gobbling up the leader, Rainbowinthewest, and prevailing in 1:55.1 over a “good” surface. Rainbowinthewest gamely held place, beaten 3-3/4 lengths, with Tequila Talkin third.
Richard Perfido trains Tricky Nick, a nine-year-old Bands Gold Chip-Broader Ambition gelding who lifted his career bankroll to $361,188, for Win Rhythm Stables.
Dave Palone, Dan Rawlings and trainer Jason Shaw each enjoyed a three-bagger on the 13-race card.
Live harness racing at The Meadows resumes Wednesday when the program features a $10,406.52 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
