Washington, PA — Maching Me Zilly moved smartly first over, held off the late charge of Elm Grove Nellie and captured Wednesday’s (Aug. 17) feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $9,900 Filly & Mare claiming handicap pace.

Maching Me Zilly had little trouble clearing her stablemate, Kissmydanceshoes, to reach the point but still faced the threat of Elm Grove Nellie, who was following on her bumper. The 8-year-old daughter of Mach Three-Keystone Eliza responded to Brady Brown’s urging and scored in 1:53.2. Elm Grove Nellie finished a half-length back in second, while Gators Ben Winning completed the ticket.

Brandon Presto trains Maching Me Zilly, who lifted her lifetime bankroll to $224,676, for Timmy Ryan, Laura Ryan and Tommy Ryan.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Thursday when the 11-race program features a $1,421.22 carryover in the Jackpot Pick-5 (race four). First post is 12:45 p.m.
