Jimmy’s Little Girl repeats in Meadows Series; Wilder wins 5

Washington, PA – Jimmy’s Little Girl found herself in unfamiliar territory when forced to move three wide near the three-quarters. But she was up to the task as she captured her second straight leg — and third consecutive win overall — in Tuesday’s Holiday Series for $10,000 claiming filly and mare pacers Monday (Dec. 16) at The Meadows.

The series concludes Friday, Dec. 30, with a championship leg worth an estimated $15,000 to $20,000.
