Washington, PA — Teddy Brosevelt stalked Pilgrims Tide from the pocket, then roared by him in the lane to capture his opening-leg division of a Holiday Claiming Series on Wednesday (Dec. 11) at The Meadows. Mac Deeno took the other $12,000 split in the event for $20,000 claiming trotters.

The Meadows currently is hosting six Holiday Claiming Series; all begin this week, and all conclude with Dec. 30 championship legs that carry estimated purses between $15,000 and $20,000.
