Officially My Way had it her way on the front end and went on to tally her second consecutive victory during Wednesday’s (Feb. 5) feature at The Meadows, a $12,400 conditioned pace for fillies and mares.
Officially My Way was pressed early in a three-ply battle for the lead, but Mike Wilder threw on the brakes once on top, giving the four-year-old daughter of Art Official and Eagle Way comfortable internal panels of :58.3. Officially My Way had plenty in reserve, defeating Play To The Crowd by 2-1/2 lengths in 1:54.2, with Lady Grande third.
Tom O’Donnell owns and trains the winner, who boosted her career bankroll to $133,084.
Dave Palone piloted three winners on the 13-race card, including a pair for trainer Mike Palone, while Wilder also fashioned a triple.
