Washington, PA — Graceful Vision zipped to the front from post six and never had an anxious moment thereafter in capturing Tuesday’s (Dec. 26) $17,000 Filly & Mare Not Listed Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows.
Graceful Vision easily turned back the first-over challenge of Spreester and drew away from the pocket-sitting Fox Valley Charm to defeat her by three lengths in 1:53.4. Southwind Roulette finished third at 55-1.
Jim Pantaleano piloted the 4-year-old daughter of Yankee Cruiser-Vision Of Grace, who extended her career bankroll to $190,460 for trainer Doug Snyder and owner Frank Poerio Jr.
Mike Wilder and Pantaleano each collected four wins on the 13-race card while Aaron Merriman enjoyed a triple.
