Sweet On Her takes Meadows series final; Myers wins four more

Washington, PA — Bob Troyer’s Sweet On Her zipped to the lead from post six and drew off late to capture Thursday’s (April 27) $19,800 championship leg of the Margaret Provost Memorial, for 3-year-old filly trotters, at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

Sweet On Her took advantage of an unusual start, as three fillies leaving inside her in the field of six broke stride. Trainer-driver Wilbur Yoder gave Sweet On Her a :29.3 second-quarter breather, and that was all the daughter of Donato Hanover-Sweetsixtennkarats needed. She scored in a career best 1:54.4 while Angelpedia stalked in vain from the pocket and finished 2-3/4 lengths back. Allforsouthwind completed the ticket.

Yoder said he wasn’t concerned about the break-fest inside him.

“I didn’t pay too much attention to that,” he said. “I knew if I could get her to the front, she would behave herself and be fine.”

He said Sweet On Her is eligible to most Pennsylvania stakes this year, including the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes, the Pennsylvania All-Stars, the Currier & Ives, the Arden Downs and the Keystone Classic.

Hunter Myers piloted four winners on the 12-race card, giving him seven over the last two programs.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Friday (April 28), first post 12:45 p.m.
