Crisp Mane thwarted the first-over challenge of Always Giggling en route to victory in Wednesday’s (Sept. 30) feature at The Meadows, a $10,800 conditioned pace for fillies and mares.
Crisp Mane and Ronnie Wrenn Jr. used their rail position effectively, powering to the point and seating Amelias Courage A and Always Giggling. Always Giggling charged hard near the three-quarters, but Crisp Mane turned her away by a half length in 1:52.4. Amelias Courage A completed the ticket.
