Showing no ill effects from a layoff of nearly nine weeks, Rainbowinthewest powered to the lead from the rail and won as she pleased in Friday’s co-feature at The Meadows, a $9,400 Filly & Mare Conditioned Trot.
Although Rainbowinthewest could have released a pair of early challengers, trainer/driver Brian Zendt would have none of it. He kept the pedal to the metal and the six-year-old daughter of Andover Hall-Miss Milwaukee responded, scoring in a sharp 1:54.3. Matterlei finished second, 2-1/2 lengths back, with Impulse Buy third.
Brocious Racing Stable and Lone Wolf Stable campaign the winner, who boosted her career bankroll to $168,120.
