McDazzle grinds out win in Meadows $17,900 distaff pace

McDazzle got away fourth from post seven for Ronnie Wrenn Jr. before attacking the leader, Touchamatic, with an uncovered bid. The 6-year-old daughter of Art Official-Dream McQueen put away Touchamatic in mid-stretch and triumphed in 1:52. The pocket-sitting Amelias Courage A shot the Lightning Lane for second, beaten a neck, with Hedges Avenue A third.

Ron Burke conditions McDazzle, who now has won 30 races and $363,616 lifetime, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi.

Dave Palone piloted four winners on the 10-race card, including a pair for trainer Kevin Johnson, while Burke enjoyed a double. Bryce Brocklehurst collected two victories — one for his brother, trainer Michael Brocklehurst, one for his dad, trainer Harold Brocklehurst.

After a wild day of long shot winners on Monday’s reopening day, things settled down Tuesday, with favorites copping seven races.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Wednesday when the 10-race program features a $9,928.54 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
