Washington, PA – Perlucky exploded to the front from post five and never had an anxious moment as he captured Friday’s (Nov. 13) $16,200 Open Handicap Trot at The Meadows.

The 5-year-old Lucky Chucky-Paper Girl gelding already was comfortable on the front when he threw down a :28 third panel, effectively sealing the deal. He scored in 1:53.1 for Dave Palone, three lengths better than Wind Of The North while White Tiger rallied for show.

Jim Pantaleano piloted five winners and Palone three on the 13-race card.
