Lousloulemon dominates in Meadows $15,000 Pop Up Series final
August 5, 2023,Washington, PA — Lousloulemon retook the lead at the quarter and effectively ended the race right there, scoring a decisive win in Saturday’s $15,000 championship of a Pop Up Series for freshman filly pacers at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.
Lousloulemon briefly released Deja Jade but soon was on top again for Ronnie Wrenn Jr. The daughter of Sweet Lou-Fashion Fluzzy was so strong that no outside flow developed until Stay Sunny, sitting third, took up the chase past the three-quarters. But Lousloulemon shrugged that off, drawing away to down Stay Sunny by 3-1/2 lengths in 1:53.1, matching her career best. Deja Jade finished third.
Ron Burke trains the winner for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi, Purnel & Libby and Larry Karr.
Aaron Merriman, Dave Palone and trainer Brandon Presto each collected three wins on the 12-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows resumes Wednesday when the program features a $424.29 carryover in the Pick-5 (race eight). First post is 12:45 p.m.
