Whats The Word Much The Best

Published: August 19, 2020 07:37 pm EDT

It took Whats The Word more than a quarter mile to reach the front from post 8, but he was unassailable once there, drawing off to capture Wednesday's (Aug. 19) feature at The Meadows, a $10,800 conditioned trot.

Once Whats The Word crossed over, he discouraged the formation of an effective outside flow and scored handily in 1:53.3. Just Maybe The One rallied for second, beaten 3-3/4 lengths, while Rainbowinthewest earned show.

Scott Betts trains the winner, a five-year-old son of Donato Hanover and Your Word Is Good who pushed his career bankroll to $365,005, for Tim Betts, Nick Catalano, Stephen Moss and Keith Pippi.

Mike Wilder piloted four winners and Tony Hall three on the 15-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows resumes Saturday (Aug. 22), when the 15-race program features a pair of stakes for three-year-old pacing colts and geldings — a $188,756 Pennsylvania Sire Stakes and a $60,000 Pennsylvania Stallion Series event — as well as an $18,225.31 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
