Summer Touch, the 2020 Ohio juvenile champion, swallowed the field with a :27.4 uncovered third quarter and rolled home in Wednesday’s (May 19) feature at The Meadows: an $11,500 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.
Summer Touch was an unhurried fourth up the backside when driver Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. sent her after the leaders. The daughter of Well Said-Real Touch made the point in a heartbeat and scored in a career-fastest 1:51.2. Amelias Courage A finished second, two-and-a-half lengths back, with Dorothys Legacy third.
Ron Burke trains Summer Touch, who scored for the eighth time in 10 starts and now boasts a career bankroll of $328,810, for Burke Racing Stable, Knox Services, Slaughter Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.
Dave Palone collected three wins on the 13-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows continues Thursday (May 20) when the 13-race program features a $3,166,38 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First-race post time is 12:45 p.m. (EDT).
