Irish Daydream sat snugly along the cones while the leaders duelled, then shot through the Lightning Lane to spring the 18-1 shocker in Wednesday’s (July 24) feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $15,753 conditioned pace for fillies and mares.
Jillian B Miki had pulled the pocket near the three-quarters to challenge the front-ending Always Gonna B You. But the real danger lurked behind them in third, and when Jeremy Indof pointed her inside, the six-year-old daughter of Vintage Master-Irish Day poured through the Lightning Lane to score in 1:52.4. Jillian B Miki was a half-length back in second while Hillbilyclassygirl rallied for show.
Skylar Tabron trains Irish Daydream, who boosted her career bankroll to $148,267, for Frank Indof and Howard Balis. The victory was one of three wins for Indof on the 13-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows continues Thursday (July 25) when the program features a $506.23 carryover in the Early Pentafecta (race four). First post is 12:45 p.m.
