Ellasen repeats, wins Meadows feature

Washington, PA — Ellasen got the worst of a three-wide skirmish for the early lead, but it didn’t bother her a bit as she cruised to her second straight victory in Tuesday’s (Sept. 21) feature at The Meadows, a $12,000 fillies and mares conditioned pace.

Ellasen battled with All Day Sunshine and Something Reel from the gate and was pushed to a :27 quarter before she could cross over. Rather than tiring, the 7-year-old daughter of Big Bad John and So Very Nice widened late for Hunter Myers and defeated All Day Sunshine by four lengths in 1:52, matching her career best. Something Reel saved show.

Andy Rickert trains Ellasen, who now has banked $292,120 in her career, for Murdock Racing Stable.

Dave Palone and Myers each piloted four winners on the 13-race card while Dan Rawlings enjoyed a triple.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Wednesday (Sept. 22), when the 12-race program features an $899.36 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
