As in that earlier meeting, Perlucky stretched out Icanflylikeanangel to a :27 opening panel before releasing him. In the lane, Perlucky brushed by for Dave Palone, downing his rival by three-quarters of a length in 1:53.4. Rainbowinthewest, the lone mare in the field, rallied for third.

Ron Burke trains Perlucky, a 5-year-old Lucky Chucky gelding who now boasts a career bankroll of $448,011, for the Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Phillip Collura.

Palone, who piloted five winners Monday, matched that total on Tuesday. Mike Wilder also enjoyed a fine day with three wins on the 15-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Wednesday (July 15), when the 15-race program features a $6,792.07 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
