The Meadows Pa Race 8

1609M

Stake: $25,349

BUCKEYEBOLLINGER (6) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 4 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. THE REAL WAY (4) won two back at Northfield Park from a nice gate. Drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 14 metres into sixth at Northfield Park over 1609m. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. QUICK TRICK (1) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m. Must be included. WHY NOT NOW (2) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway.
