Spanish Dream zipped to the point from post five for Aaron Merriman, but released Something Reel when she quarter-poled. It proved a successful strategy, as Spanish Dream was fresher late, downing Something Reel by a half length in 1:53.2. Hedges Avenue A was a ground-saving third.
Andy Rickert trains Spanish Dream, a 7-year-old daughter of Dream Away and Latin Liftoff who now has banked $323,164, for Nichole Stahl.
In Tuesday’s co-feature, a $10,300 fillies and mares conditioned trot, Kombucha made it two straight for driver Tom Svrcek and trainer Bryce Brocklehurst by converting a pocket trip to victory in 1:56.1. Svrcek also owns the 4-year-old daughter of Kadabra and Terrific Dream, who lifted her career earnings to $107,368, with Kristen Cron.
Dave Palone piloted four winners and Merriman three on the 12-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows continues Wednesday (Oct. 6), when the 12-race program features a $15,523.65 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
