Given a 30 second-quarter breather, Wild Wild Western made the most of it, rolling to his second straight victory in the $17,600 Open Handicap Pace on Friday (April 1) at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.
Brady Brown hustled Wild Wild Western to the point in a contested :26.3 before stepping on the brakes. A refreshed Wild Wild Western thwarted the first-over bid of Dorsoduro Hanover and scored in 1:52. Carolina Beach shot the Lightning Lane for second, 1-1/4 lengths back, with Dorsoduro Hanover third.
Norm Parker trains the winner, a six-year-old son of Western Ideal-Caila Fra who pushed his career bankroll to $414,485, for Jacobs Creek Racing, Andrew Altobelli and Jon Deters.
Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. and trainer Ron Burke each fashioned a triple on the 11-race card.
Live harness racing at The Meadows resumes Wednesday when the 11-race program features a pair of carryovers — $1,795.60 in the Jackpot Pick 5 (race 4), $2,271.50 in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
