Transcending Repeats In Preferred

Published: September 13, 2010 07:41 pm EDT

Transcending took his time making the front Monday, but once there, he was unassailable in capturing his second straight $22,500 Preferred Handicap Pace at the Meadows

.

Leaving from Post 5, Transcending was parked for much of a first quarter in :27 before clearing to the lead. Dave Palone worked out a comfortable :29.4 second panel for the six-year-old son of Grinfromeartoear-Apopka Denise, and that was the only breather he needed.

He scored under wraps in 1:51.1, three-quarters of a length better than the pocket-sitting Fox Valley Armor. Valentowner saved ground to complete the top three finishers.

Ron Burke trains Transcending, who extended his career bankroll to $362,330, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, JJK Stables and Larry Karr. It was one of Palone’s six wins — five for Burke — on the 15-race card.
