Ontario-bred distaffer Whambamthankumaam skyrocketed to the front with a quick backside burst that caught the field flat-footed, and she rolled to a convincing 11-1 victory in Wednesday’s (Jan. 10) feature at The Meadows, a $13,000 conditioned trot for fillies and mares.

Whambamthankumaam was third when trainer-driver Greg Wright, Jr. sent her after leader Dreamsteeler. The five-year-old daughter of Kadabra-Mojo N The Morning opened a daylight lead and prevailed in 1:56.3 over a good surface. Homepage, who was left without cover when the winner drew away, soldiered on and finished second, 3-1/2 lengths back, while RV Janet was a ground-saving third.

Thomas Mucci campaigns the Joanne Colville-bred Whambamthankumaam, who extended her career bankroll to $124,504.

Live racing at The Meadows resumes with a special Thursday (Jan. 11) card, with first post set for 1:05 p.m.
