by Evan Pattak, for The Meadows

Washington, PA — Cue Hall quarter-poled to the front and had little trouble maintaining the lead from there as he captured Wednesday’s (June 29) $14,900 Conditioned Trot at The Meadows in a career-best 1:53.3.

Cue Hall was away second behind TSM Photo Bugger, but winning driver Tony Hall moved the 4-year-old son of Andover Hall-Curli Cue to the lead. Cue Hall easily thwarted the first-over bid of Trustworthy Kid and defeated the rallying See The Wind by 1-1/2 lengths. Charles VII finished third. Rich Gillock trains Cue Hall, who extended his lifetime bankroll to $191,126 for owner/breeder Bob Key.

Hall piloted four winners and Dave Palone three on the 13-race card.
