Prince Of Tides grabbed a short-lived early lead, as he quickly found himself shuffled to third. But when Mike Wilder tipped him off the cones, the 5-year-old Somebeachsomewhere-Tug River Princess gelding powered past Done Well and edged the rallying Torrin Hanover by a neck to score in 1:50.2. Dorsoduro Hanover shot the Lightning Lane for show.

Randy Bendis trains Prince Of Tides, who now has banked $394,894 lifetime, and owns with Pollack Racing LLC.

Trainer Ron Burke enjoyed a four-bagger on the 12-race card while Dave Palone and Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. each fashioned a triple.

Live racing at The Meadows resumes Tuesday (Oct. 5) when the program features a $12,269.12 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
