Lakeisha Hall Nabs Meadows Preferred

Published: July 31, 2018 08:15 pm EDT

Lakeisha Hall zipped to the front from post six and powered to victory — her second straight and fourth in the last six — in the $18,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Pace Tuesday, July 31 at The Meadows.

Last week, Lakeisha Hall used a pocket trip to out-finish the leader, Fox Valley Charm. On Tuesday, their positions were reversed, but Lakeisha Hall would not let Fox Valley Charm by in the passing lane, downing her by half a length in 1:51.3 for driver Dave Palone. McDazzle found late racing room for third.

Ron Burke trains Lakeisha Hall, a five-year-old daughter of Third Straight-Lantana Hall who lifted her career bankroll to $548,879, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Jack Piatt II.
