After four consecutive pocket trips had produced seconds and thirds, Anythingforlove A took matters into his own hands by blasting to the front for Aaron Merriman and settling matters early. He scored in 1:53.1, three-quarter lengths better than the first-over Hawk’s Red Chief, with Dapper Dude third.

Bill Bercury trains the winner, a 6-year-old Rock N Roll Heaven-The Perfect Mona gelding who vaulted over $200,000 in career earnings, for Renee Bercury.

Jim Pantaleano piloted four winners and Mike Wilder three on the 13-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows resumes Monday (Dec. 10), when the program features a $1,875.60 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5.
