Sandbetweenmytoes draws off in Meadows co-feature; Palone wins six
November 3, 2023,Washington, PA — Sandbetweenmytoes seized the early lead from post six, backed down the field and drew off late to capture Friday’s (Nov. 3) co-feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $12,100 Conditioned Pace.
Once Brady Brown gave Sandbetweenmytoes a 29.1 second-quarter breather, the 6-year-old Somebeachsomewhere-Galleria gelding had the field at his mercy. He cooked the back half in 55.1 to triumph in 1:52, 1-3/4 lengths better than Double Up N in the Lightning Lane. The pocket-sitting The Night’s Watch finished third.
Dirk Simpson trains the winner, who pushed his career bankroll to $731,042, for Greg Luther Racing LLC.
In Friday’s co-feature, a $12,100 Conditioned Trot, Windsong Patriot led every step to score for Hunter Myers and trainer Melanie O’Donnell, who owns the 7-year-old E L Titan-Windsong Idol gelding with Corey Hendricks. Windsong Patriot now boasts lifetime earnings of $220,810. Mystical Peter and Rose Run Xcentric rounded out the ticket.
Dave Palone collected six wins on the 13-race card, giving him 11 for the week, while Myers enjoyed a triple.
