Washington, PA — Lady’s Dude pulled the pocket into the final turn, kicked past his stablemate, Call For Justice, and captured Wednesday’s (Oct. 25) $20,000 Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.
Lady’s Dude stalked Call For Justice the whole way until Tony Hall sent him on his decisive move. He scored in 1:54.1, 2 lengths better than Call For Justice, while Tamarind raced and finished third.
Ron Burke trains Lady’s Dude, a 6-year-old Victory Sam-Lady’s Star gelding who soared over $600,000 in career earnings, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Johnny Yoder.
Palone and Burke each fashioned a triple on the 13-race card.
