Adamsville Road pulled the pocket into the far turn and easily cleared to the lead en route to victory in the feature on Friday (May 5) at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $15,400 conditioned trot.
Aaron Merriman piloted the four-year-old Swan For All - She Wore Red gelding, who lifted his lifetime bankroll to $271,494, for trainer John Melsheimer and owners Mel Rose Stable and Joe Nesselroad. Keystone Chaos and early leader Windsong Patriot completed the ticket.
Live racing at The Meadows continues Saturday when the 14-race Kentucky Derby Day card features a pair of stakes for sophomore colt and gelding pacers — a Pennsylvania Sire Stakes and a PA Stallion Series event — with combined purses exceeding $245,000.
Special post time for the Derby Day card is 11:30 a.m., which also marks the start of a full-day of family-centric festivities, including a Derby hat contest, live music, food and beverage specials, paddock tours, starting gate rides and winners’ circle pictures. Those activities are coordinated by The Meadows and the Meadows Standardbred Owners Association.
