After the winner was pressured to a demanding :26.4 opening panel, Mike Wilder was able to give him a :29.3 second-quarter breather. With that, the 6-year-old Archangel-Fox Valley London gelding easily thwarted the first-over challenge of Rising MVP and downed the pocket-sitting Lady’s Dude by 2-3/4 lengths. Classicality finished third.

Randy Bendis trains Icanflylikeanangel, who now boasts career earnings of $361,116, and owns with Pollack Racing.

Ronnie Wrenn Jr., trainer Ron Burke and Wilder each collected a pair of victories on the 13-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Wednesday when the program features a $1,748.20 carryover in the Pick-5 (race two) and a $1,156.29 carryover in the Super Hi-5 (race 13). First post is 12:45 p.m.
