Camera Lady found yet another way to win, shooting the Lightning Lane to capture her fifth straight victory in Wednesday’s (March 7) $18,000 Fillies and Mares Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows.
Camera Lady had won on the front and with furious rallies during her streak, but on Wednesday, she stalked Medusa from the pocket and blew by late to score for Ronnie Wrenn Jr. in 1:53.4 over a good surface. The first-over Graceful Vision was second, three-quarters of a length back, while Fox Valley Charm also used the Lightning Lane for show.
