Chief Mate blistered the last quarter uncovered in :26.4, a decisive brush that carried him to victory in the feature on Saturday, May 18 at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $17,123 conditioned pace.

Chief Mate was third when Mike Wilder sent him after the leader, Sandbetweenmytoes. The seven-year-old Captaintreacherous-Heaven Forbid gelding gobbled up Sandbetweenmytoes in mid-stretch and held off the late charge of Gung Ho, downing him by a half length in 1:51.2. Sandbetweenmytoes saved show.

Dirk Simpson trains Chief Mate, who now boasts a career bankroll of $465,735, for Greg Luther Racing LLC.

Dave Palone and Ronnie Wrenn Jr. each piloted three winners on the 13-race card.

Live harness racing at The Meadows resumes on Wednesday, May 22 when the program features a $513.75 carryover in the Early Pentafecta (Race 4). First post is 12:45 p.m.
