TSM Photo Bugger followed live cover and roared through the lane to earn his second straight victory in Wednesday’s $22,500 Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.
TSM Photo Bugger was fourth down the backside when Mike Wilder tipped him off the cones to follow the first-over I Know My Chip, who grabbed the lead at the top of the stretch. TSM Photo Bugger zipped by him and held off the late charge of Trustworthy Kid to down him by a neck in 1:54. I Know My Chip saved show.
