Meadow Lands, PA — Worthy Flier made it three wins in a row on Tuesday (May 13) at The Meadows, launching a determined uncovered bid that carried her to victory in the $18,000 Filly & Mare Open Trot.
Worthy Flier was only 3-1/2 lengths back when she made her move, but she was trying to overhaul Whotookwhat, arguably the queen of trotters at The Meadows, who had enjoyed a comfortable :58.2 half on the lead.
Trainer/driver Charlie Norris kept the daughter of Pegasus Spur alive on the outside, and she prevailed by three-quarters of a length in 1:56.4, a career best. Whotookwhat saved place over a fast-closing Winnie The Who.
Leonard Buckner owns Worthy Flier.
