Washington, PA — Hammered down to 1-2 despite having to start from post nine, All Day Sunshine made all that money look smart as she overcame a brutal first quarter to win her third straight in Thursday’s (Jan. 14) feature at The Meadows, a $9,100 fillies and mares conditioned pace.

Morning Shadow stretched All Day Sunshine to a :26.4 opening panel before the 4-year-old Sunshine Beach-Mustang Kensley mare could cross over. But after Dan Rawlings gave her a :29.1 second-quarter breather, All Day Sunshine was home free. She scored in 1:53.2, 2-1/4 lengths better than Morning Shadow, with Dorothy’s Legacy third.

Paul Corey trains the winner, who boosted her career bankroll to $164,763, for Kenneth Ashba.

Tony Hall, Aaron Merriman and Dave Palone each piloted three winners on the 13-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Friday (Jan. 15), when the 13-race program features a $6,726.31 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
