Washington, PA – Written off at 20-1, Seeyou At Thebeach seized the lead with a quick backside burst and held on late to spring the upset in Friday’s (Feb. 25) $16,000 Open Handicap Pace at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

At 20-1, Seeyou At Thebeach was the upset winner in Friday’s $16,000 Open Handicap Pace at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

Seeyou At Thebeach was third when Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. sent him after the leader, Prince Of Tides, who had enjoyed a 29 second-quarter breather but proved vulnerable on the “good” surface. Once he cleared and crossed over, the 5-year-old Somebeachsomewhere-Persistent gelding dug in to defeat the rallying Torrin Hanover by 3/4 lengths in 1:52.4 Wild Wild Western was a good third in his 2022 debut.

Ron Burke trains the winner, who lifted his lifetime bankroll to $259,631, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, Purnel & Libby LLC and Kitefield Stable.

Burke collected four victories and Wrenn three on the 11-race card.
