Washington, PA — After eschewing a seat at the pylons early, Bet On The Bay powered to the lead and rolled to an easy victory in Thursday’s (May 19) co-feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $10,300 conditioned pace for fillies and mares.

Bet On The Bay powered her way to a career best performance on Thursday at The Meadows, giving driver Dave Palone one of four wins on the day. Chris Gooden photo.

Bet On The Bay had a chance to drop in third approaching the quarter, but Dave Palone decided that wasn’t where he wanted the 3-year-old daughter of Betting Line-Whos Up Whos Down. It proved the winning choice as Bet On The Bay was unchallenged from there, defeating the pocket-sitting Southwind Aussi by three-quarters of a length in a career best 1:53.1. Bittersweetsymphony finished third.

Dane Snyder trains the winner for Linwood Higgins, Danielle Snyder, Kristine Kash and Jason Ash.

In Thursday’s co-feature, also a $10,300 distaff conditioned pace, Yes And Yes (Always B Miki-Yes Dear) swooped the field in the final quarter, going from worst to first to triumph in 1:53.2 — a lifetime mark — for Mike Wilder, trainer Ron Burke and owners Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and J&T Silva-Purnel & Libby. Snuf Enuf Hanover and Lyons Queen completed the ticket.

Palone collected four wins and trainer Scott Betts three on the 11-race card.
