Washington, PA – Pace Baby Pace launched a lengthy uncovered bid that carried her to victory — her second straight — in Wednesday’s (Dec.9) $16,200 Filly & Mare Open Handicap Pace at The Meadows.

Pace Baby Pace was fifth down the backside when Dave Palone sent her after the leader, Summer Charm. The 4-year-old daughter of Sweet Lou-Breakheart Pass persevered through the lane and scored in 1:51.3, a head better than the pocket-sitting Blue Ivy in the Lightning Lane. Summer Charm was a close-up third.
