Ourlittlemiracle pounced on the tiring leaders and triumphed in a career-best 1:50.3 in Thursday’s (Aug. 25) $19,300 Filly & Mare Open Handicap Pace at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.
Ourlittlemiracle was involved in the scrum for the early lead that saw Blue Ivy emerge on top in a demanding :25.4. Ourlittlemiracle saved ground until the final turn when Dave Palone swung her off the cones for the drive. The four-year-old daughter of Bettors Delight-Machnbyrd Princess had plenty in the tank, downing Rock Me Cristal by two lengths. Lady Newton shot the Lightning Lane for show.
It was one of four wins on the 12-race card for Palone, giving him nine over the last two days.
