Longshot, Ohio’s champion three-year-old gelding trotter this year, showed Friday that he’s pretty capable in Pennsylvania, too. The son of Long Tom-Tintern blazed to victory for Chris Lems in 1:52.2, fastest ever at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows by a sophomore gelding trotter.
Pennsylvania champion Fulton became the fastest two-year-old ever at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows when he steamed to a 1:49.4 victory in Friday’s $82,500 Keystone Classic. Lyons Stealth sprang a 7-1 upset in the other division of the stakes for freshman colt and gelding pacers.
Just call them “The Road Warriors”.
With things at a standstill at their home track due to a COVID-19 shutdown, a pair of horses who call Woodbine Mohawk Park home ruled The Meadowlands Saturday night (April 24) as trotter Its Academic and pacer Sintra scored in the co-featured $30,000 Preferreds.
Sintra was nothing short of scintillating in overcoming post 10 to score in 1:48.4. The eight-year-old gelded son of Mach Three-Dancin Barefoot left hard from the outside in the 10-horse field and got a spot fourth at the pegs out of the first turn.
The 8-5 favourite came first-over at the five-eighths and made his way toward leader American History, who blazed fractions of :54.4 and 1:21.4 after wrestling control away from the early leader, 5-2 second choice Ana Afreet N, at the three-eighths.
