Dismissed at a generous 8-1, Hurricane Calleigh stalked Show Runner from the pocket, then out kicked her in the Lightning Lane to score the upset in Monday’s $18,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows.
Although Hurricane Calleigh had been racing well of late from off the pace, David McNeight III hustled her to the pocket, where she enjoyed the best trip. She downed Show Runner by a length in a career-best 1:52.1, with the first-over Spreester third.
David McNeight, Jr. trains Hurricane Calleigh, a four-year-old daughter of Mcardle-Jo Pas Dragoness, for Courtney McNeight.
Aaron Merriman piloted three winners on the 13-race program.
