Washington, PA — Treasure Dreams moved smartly first-over to grind down Matrona and capture her $15,000 opening leg division of the Margaret Provost Memorial Trot Wednesday (April 4) at The Meadows. The series for 3-year-old fillies honors the memory of Margaret Provost, longtime owner of Standardbreds at The Meadows.
