Day To Party moved three-wide past the three-quarters and brushed wide through the lane to spring a 12-1 upset in Wednesday’s (Feb. 1) feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $12,100 filly & mare conditioned pace.
Once Dan Charlino tipped Day To Party off cover, the four-year-old daughter of Sportswriter-Day To Ponder found a new gear and edged Slick Artist A, who was shooting the Lightning Lane, by a head in 1:55.1 over a sloppy surface. Leave Her Wild finished third.
Ron Burke trains Day To Party, who lifted her lifetime bankroll to $127,365, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.
Ronnie Wrenn Jr. collected three wins on the 13-race card.
Live harness racing at The Meadows continues Thursday when the 13-race program features a $1,440.52 carryover in the Pick 5 (Race 9). First post is 12:45 p.m.
