Dunn Memorial Continues At Meadows

Published: March 9, 2020 08:30 pm EDT

Windsun Juno, a lightly-raced four-year-old, enjoyed her first career victory in Monday’s (March 9) Donna Dunn Memorial Pace at The Meadows.

Speak The Peace captured the other $12,500 division in the second leg of the series for three- and four-year-old fillies and mares.

The Donna Dunn is one of four late-closing series The Meadows currently is featuring, with the championship leg of each set for Friday, March 20.

Unraced at two and three, Windsun Juno has been competitive from her first outing, finishing second in four of her six previous career starts. Using Lasix for the first time Monday, she quarter-poled to the top for Dave Palone and prevailed by a comfortable four lengths in 1:55.1. Loudoo Princess and Acrobatta completed the ticket.

Ron Burke trains Windsun Juno, a daughter of Sunfire Blue Chip-Artistic Melody, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.

Mike Wilder and Palone each collected four wins on the 13-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Tuesday when the program features a trio of rich wagering opportunities: a $20,841.09 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5; a $5,000 total-pool guarantee for the Pick 4 (races 3-6); a $1,481.62 carryover in the Pick 5 (races 2-6). First post is 1:05 p.m.
