Touchamatic Takes Meadows Feature

Published: July 9, 2019 08:05 pm EDT

Touchamatic outdueled Camera Lady for the early lead and rolled home without a serious challenge in 1:50.2 to take the $20,000 Filly & Mare Open Handicap Pace on Tuesday, July 9 at The Meadows.

Touchamatic easily thwarted the first-over challenge of Baron Remy and defeated Camera Lady by two lengths, with Keystone Riptide a ground-saving third. Aaron Merriman piloted the five-year-old daughter of American Ideal-Perfect Touch, who won for the 11th time this season and extended her career bankroll to $317,822, for trainer Bill Bercury and owner Renee Bercury.

It was one of five victories for Merriman on the 13-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Wednesday, July 10 when the program features a $1,989.60 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 1:05 p.m.
