The lights of the tote board shone brightly across the “sloppy” track after each of the $50,000 Meadowlands Pace eliminations on Saturday (July 10) at The Meadowlands when a pair of long-odd competitors crossed the beam first.
A breathtaking 81-1 upset by Hellabalou, with Andrew McCarthy at the lines, was the highlight of the first $50,000 elimination for the Meadowlands Pace.
The Sweet Lou colt, trained by Eddie Dennis, got everyone’s attention right off the gate as he swept to the lead from post 7 moving to the first turn. I had a look across [as the field got started off the gate] and nobody really looked that dedicated to leaving hard,” McCarthy said after the race, “so I bounced him out of there and got him to the front.”

Truth Hurts Gets First Stakes Win In Perfect Sting At Belmont Sponsored by:
Truth Hurts wins the Perfect Sting Stakes at Belmont Park.
Truth Hurts, trained and co-owned by Chad Summers with J Stables, registered a dominant victory in Saturday s $100,000 Perfect Sting Stakes for older fillies and mares contested at one mile over a sloppy and sealed main track at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y.
The eighth running of the Perfect Sting was originally scheduled for one mile on the Widener turf course before inclement weather forced the race to the main track, resulting in the scratches of Honey Cake, Princess Grace, Sunset Kiss, Madita, and 4/5 morning-line favorite Viadera.
