While 2-5 favourite Tequila Talkin was jammed up inside and waiting for the Lightning Lane, Good Feeln To Know swung widest of all in the lane, looped the leaders and pulled off a 15-1 upset in the $26,301 Open Handicap Trot on Thursday, Aug. 15 at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.
Tequila Talkin (Ronnie Wrenn Jr.) made the early lead but yielded it to the quarter-poling Commander Frank (Mike Wilder). Meanwhile, Good Feeln To Know followed the live first-over cover of Killer Instinct (Hunter Wyers) before swinging well outside for Dave Palone. Tequila Talkin eventually found the Lightning Lane but Good Feeln To Know already had soared by to edge the favourite by a half length in 1:53, with Commander Frank third.
Nick Kozar trains Good Feeln To Know, a five-year-old Trixton-Gentle True Spirit gelding who lifted his lifetime earnings to $117,505, for Jack B. Piatt III and Howard Alexander.
Mike Wilder collected four wins on the 13-race card and Wilbur Yoder three — including a pair of victories with horses he trains.

On the wagering front, the program offers two carryovers: $570.20 in the Early Pentafecta (Race 4), $1,034.40 in the Pick 5 (Race 9). First post is 5:10 p.m.
