Fancytucky parlayed two moves into victory in Tuesday’s (March 6) co-feature at The Meadows, an $11,500 conditioned trot for fillies and mares.
Racing off a layoff of about seven weeks, Fancytucky got away third from post six and, under most circumstances, probably would have been satisfied with a covered trip. But when Dan Rawlings saw two of the top contenders break stride, he gunned Fancytucky to the top at the quarter. The six-year-old daughter of Pinetucky-Beaucoup Amour responded by holding off the Lightning Lane challenge of Saint Beth and downing her by half a length in 1:57.2. The first-over Rose Run Reanna finished third.
Troy McDougal trains Fancytucky, who extended her career bankroll to $140,103, and shares ownership with James Steuernagel.
Lars Perry became a $100,000 performer in Tuesday’s co-feature, an $11,500 conditioned trot, when he shot the Lightning Lane and triumphed in 1:56.2. Jim Pantaleano piloted the four-year-old Cantab Hall-Southwind Wasabi gelding for trainer Richard Perfido and owner Thomas Mattingly.
Live racing at The Meadows resumes Wednesday (March 7) when the card features a pair of carryovers: a $3,430.46 carryover in the day’s first superfecta and a $1,326.57 carryover in the Pick 5, which covers races six through 10. First post is 1:05 p.m.
