Dapper Dude Wins 13th Of The Year

Dapper Dude collected his 13th win this season when he withstood the determined challenge of Meadowbrook Tiger and captured Saturday’s $20,000 Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows.

Dapper Dude retook the lead for Aaron Merriman following a swift :26.3 quarter only to face the menacing Meadowbrook Tiger, who gained steadily through the final turn. Dapper Dude shook loose in mid-stretch and scored in 1:53.3, a length better than the rallying Sam Hill, while Meadowbrook Tiger saved show.

Bill Bercury trains Dapper Dude, an eight-year-old son of The Panderosa - Dress To Suggest whose lifetime bankroll sits just shy of $1.2 million, for Renee Bercury.

Dave Palone, Jim Pantaleano and trainer Ron Burke each fashioned a three-bagger on the 12-race card.
