Set Me Up was a 1:51.4 winner on Monday at The Meadows.

A longtime top performer at The Meadows, Set Me Up dropped into a conditioned event to collect last week’s win.

She was sharp in the top distaff pace Monday, following the first-over cover of Coffee Addict before Dave Palone sent her wide through the stretch. She prevailed in 1:51.4, edging the rallying Spreester by a nose, while Medusa shot the Lightning Lane for show.
