Ladys Dude opened a sizable lead in the stretch, allowing him to score under wraps in Wednesday’s (Dec. 30) $16,200 Open Handicap Trot at The Meadows, the track’s closing-day feature.
Ladys Dude had the opportunity to drop in third before the quarter, but Tony Hall elected to keep the nine-year-old Victory Sam-Ladys Star gelding marching to the point. It proved a wise choice, as Ladys Dude cruised home in 1:54.4, three-quarter lengths better than Jeffery P, who rallied inside. Maewegonow finished third.
Ron Burke trains Ladys Dude, who won for the 51st time and lifted his lifetime bankroll to $854,090, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Johnny Yoder. It was one of four victories for Hall on the 13-race card.
