Joygo gets lightning lane win in Meadows feature

Washington, PA  — Joygo waited patiently while his rivals dueled for the lead, then poured through the Lightning Lane to capture Friday’s (June 16) feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $12,100 Conditioned Trot.

While Favorite Aunt and Crazy Supersport took turns on the point, Joygo saved ground in third. When Mike Wilder pressed the button, the 4-year-old Nuncio-Eleventeen gelding brushed inside and scored in 1:54.2, a neck better than Crazy Supersport. Bigly rallied for show.

Lance Barber trains Joygo and owns with Sonya Barber.

Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. and Wilder each piloted three winners on the 12-race card.

Saturday’s (June 18) program at The Meadows features the $95,790 Currier & Ives for 3-year-old colt and gelding trotters. Heading the field is Rumble Strips, whose win in 1:53.2 last year at the Delaware Fair made him the fastest freshman trotter ever on a half-mile track. The Currier & Ives goes as races eight and 10, with first post at 12:45 p.m.
