Heart On My Sleeve stalked Remember The Beach from the pocket, then blew by him in the lane to capture Friday’s $10,000 second leg of the Wilbur Zendt Memorial Pace for three- and four-year-old horses, colts and geldings at The Meadows. With a win and a second in the two preliminary legs, Heart On My Sleeve assured himself a spot in the $15,000-added championship on March 19.
Remember The Beach cut a comfortable :57.1 half but was out-tripped by Heart On My Sleeve, who scored for Dave Palone in 1:54.1. Amazon, a 53-1 bomb, rallied for second, 1-1/2 lengths back, while Remember The Beach settled for show.
He didn’t race as a freshman, but the 3-year-old Whiskey Blu has been making up for lost time ever since. On Thursday (March 11) at The Meadows, he won his sixth race in as many career starts by blowing away the field in a division of the Dale McConnell Memorial Trot.
The Great PG took the other $10,000 second-leg split in the series for three-year-old trotting colt and geldings.
Dan Charlino didn’t rush Whiskey Blu, allowing him to settle third before making the point with a quarter-pole move. The Southwind Frank-Kendall Blue gelding cruised home in 1:56.2 over a “good” surface, six-and-a-half lengths better than Full Review, with Conrad J third.

CANTON Canton Central School got some good news last week, as many of their transportation employees may no longer need to quarantine if exposed to COVID-19.
CCS Superintendent Ron Burke updated the Board Thursday about district transportation.
“I think we have some good news in the very near future,” he said at the March 4 meeting. Burke said that if the district s most recent COVID exposure had taken place a few days later, school would not have had to shift to remote learning.
This is because people who receive the COVID vaccine have a window where they do not need to quarantine if exposed to COVID. For now, that window is two weeks after their second shot, and up until 3 months.
