Washington, PA — Unheralded at 11-1, Splendid shot the Lightning Lane to spring the upset in Friday’s (April 19) Terry Altmeyer Memorial Trot at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows —snapping Carrera Hanover’s five-race winning streak in the process. Andy B Worthy took the other $12,500 second-leg division in the series for 3-year-old colts and geldings.

Chris Lems hustled Splendid to the top from post seven, but the pair released Carrera Hanover and stalked him from the pocket.

Long shot Blockchain was a ground-saving second, beaten 1-1/4 lengths, while Carrera Hanover saved show.
