Ontario-bred Daylon Miracle wore down the stubborn Cowgirl Hall and captured Wednesday’s $22,500 Filly & Mare Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.
Cowgirl Hall got the early lead, but had to endure a :27.1 first quarter to do so. When Daylon Miracle challenged first over from third for Aaron Merriman, the mares dueled for the rest of the mile, with Daylon Miracle one and a quarter lengths ahead at the wire in 1:54.1. Anaffairtoremember, the winner’s stablemate, finished third.
Bill Bercury trains and owns Daylon Miracle, a six-year-old daughter of Pegasus Spur-Daylon Marvel who now boasts $497,149 in career earnings.
Tony Hall, Dave Palone and Merriman each fashioned a triple on the 14-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows continues Thursday, when the program features a $100,000 Pennsylvania Stallion Series stake for three-year-old colt and gelding trotters. First post is 12:55 p.m.
