Fort Washington, PA — Hammered down to 3-5, Workin Ona Mystery looked every bit the dominant force, throwing down a 50.4 back half while first over — on a “good” surface — to capture Friday’s (October 20) $19,200 Open Pace at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

Once Dave Palone sent the millionaire son of Captaintreacherous-Dragon’s Tale after the leader, Wild Wild Western (Mike Wilder), the race for win was over. Workin Ona Mystery scored in 1:50.4, 2 lengths better than Patrikthepiranha A (Anthony MacDonald) in the Lightning Lane, with Elliot Moose (Jeremy Indof) third.

Ron Burke trains the winner, who boosted his gaudy bankroll to $1,193,822, for Burke Racing Stable, Milton Leemen, Alan Keith and Wingfield Brothers LLC.

Mike Wilder piloted six winners and Palone five while Burke enjoyed a four-bagger on the 13-race card. With Palone’s Thursday haul, he’s now collected 10 wins over the past two days.

Live racing at The Meadows resumes Wednesday when the program features a $323.52 carryover in the Pick 5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
