Classicality rolled to his third straight win in Monday’s $18,000 Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.

During his streak, the 8-year-old Classic Photo-Penn Worthy Lane gelding has been ahead at every call.

The 3-5 favorite left from post six and needed nearly the entire first quarter to reach the front. He defeated his stablemate and half-brother, Trustworthy Kid, by 1-3/4 lengths, giving owner/trainer Lisa Dunn the exacta sweep, with Classic Banker third. Classicality pushed his lifetime bankroll to $591,792.

In Monday’s co-feature, the $18,000 Preferred Pace, Dapper Dude angled off the cones out of the final turn and brushed wide for Ronnie Wrenn Jr. to edge the first-over Lincolnjames by a nose in 1:49.3, fastest mile at The Meadows this year. Early leader Anythingforlove A saved show.

Bill Bercury trains Dapper Dude, a 9-year-old son of The Panderosa-Dress To Suggest who now boasts $1,232,500 in career earnings, for Renee Bercury.

Tony Hall and trainer Jack Smith each enjoyed a triple on the 13-race card.
