Jewels Forreal springs 8-1 upset in Meadows distaff
November 13, 2018,Washington, PA — Jewels Forreal stalked her stablemate McDazzle from the pocket, then roared past in the Lightning Lane to spring an 8-1 upset in Tuesday’s (Nov. 13) $18,000 Fillies and Mares Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows.
McDazzle, who was bidding to extend her winning streak to four, turned back a stern third-quarter challenge from Easy Three. But that effort may have weakened her, as the 3-year-old Jewels Forreal had little trouble downing her 4-year-old stablemate by half a length for Mike Wilder in 1:54.2 over a surface rated good. Keystone Riptide completed the ticket.
Ron Burke trains Jewels Forreal, a daughter of So Surreal and Dandy’s Jewel who lifted her lifetime bankroll to $169,313, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.
Trainer Karen Fread enjoyed a triple on the 13-race card.
