Stonebridge Armour Shoots To Meadows Win

Published: September 7, 2022 07:47 pm EDT

Stonebridge Armour stalked patiently from the pocket while Horoscope did the heavy lifting on the lead, then blew by in the Lightning Lane to capture Wednesday’s feature at The Meadows, a $13,300 conditioned trot.

Horoscope reeled off a swift 1:25 three-quarters but tired late, inspiring a number of challenges. But Stonebridge Armour was best positioned, brushing for Ridge Warren to prevail in 1:54.1. Saint K put in a huge effort, moving first up from last, but fell a half-length short with Who Made Who third.

J.L. Adams trains the winner, a four-year-old Muscle Mass-Armbro Vanquish gelding who boosted his lifetime bankroll to $120,571, for Martin Valentic.

Hunter Myers collected four wins on the 12-race card, including a pair for trainer Randy Bendis, while Dave Palone fashioned a triple.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Thursday (Sept. 8) when the 12-race card features a pair of carryovers: $4,110.32 in the final-race Super Hi-5 and $952.93 in the Jackpot Pick 5 (Race 4). First post is 12:45 p.m. (EDT).
