When I Have A Dream pulled the pocket down the backside and opened a daylight lead, it appeared the others were racing for minor awards. But when Wilbur Yoder asked Kixton Hanover for more, the 3-year-old Trixton-Keepsake Hanover gelding responded, overtaking I Have A Dream and downing him by a neck in 1:57.4. Early leader Benezia finished third.

Yoder swept Monday’s co-feature when he took a $10,000 Conditioned Pace with Lyons Friends. The 3-year-old Western Ideal-Artistic Vision gelding triumphed in 1:54.3 for trainer Scott Cox and owners Brady Ash and Robert Wehner.

Brady Brown, who’s earned the nickname “Downtown” for his success with long shots, was at it again Monday, winning four overall, including scores at 20-1 and 19-1. Yoder finished with three victories on the 13-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Tuesday (Dec. 8) when the 13-race program features a $7,071.63 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
