Hammered to 1-2 despite drawing post 9, All Day Sunshine made all that money look smart as she overcame a brutal first quarter to win her third straight in Thursday’s (Jan. 14) feature at The Meadows: a $9,100 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.
Morning Shadow stretched All Day Sunshine to a :26.4 opening panel before the four-year-old daughter of Sunshine Beach-Mustang Kensley could cross over. But when Dan Rawlings gave her a :29.1 second-quarter breather, All Day Sunshine was home free. She scored in 1:53.2, two-and lengths better than Morning Shadow, with Dorothy’s Legacy third.
Paul Corey trains the winner, who boosted her career bankroll to $164,763, for Kenneth Ashba.
Tony Hall, Aaron Merriman and Dave Palone each piloted three winners on the 13-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows continues Friday (Jan. 15) when the 13-race program features a $6,726.31 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m. (EST).
