Washington, PA – He was in tougher, but that didn’t stop Consus Victory from collecting his third straight win, albeit a hard-earned one in Wednesday’s (Feb.3) feature at The Meadows, an $11,000 Conditioned Trot.

Up in class after those two earlier wins, Consus Victory rolled to the point from the rail and appeared to be in complete control. But when challenged late by Mystical Peter, the 5-year-old Cantab Hall-OK To Play gelding had to dig in for Dave Palone to edge Mystical Peter by a neck in 1:56 over a “good” surface. Rising MVP finished third.

Randy Bendis trains Consus Victory, who vaulted over $100,000 in career earnings, and owns with Reed Broadway.

Tony Hall piloted four winners on the 13-race card while 13 trainers each scored a victory.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Thursday (Feb.4) when the 13-race program features a $1,050.59 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5.
