Dismissed at 14-1, Crossfit Mouse roared widest through the lane to spring the upset in Friday’s feature at The Meadows, a $12,100 Conditioned Trot.
Crossfit Mouse followed the first-over cover of Rainbowinthewest, but when that one tired, Hunter Myers needed to send the four-year-old Muscle Mass-Zumba Mouse gelding three wide into the final turn. Crossfit Mouse was more than willing, kicking by the leaders and scoring in a career-best 1:54.1. Keystone Chaos was second, a head back, with early leader Stickler Hanover third.
Dane Snyder trains Crossfit Mouse, who lifted his lifetime bankroll to $181,447, for Linwood Higgins, Jason Ash, Danielle Snyder and Kristine Kash.
Dave Palone collected three wins, including a pair for trainer Ron Burke, on the 12-race card.
