Aussie courageous in The Meadows feature

HANDY pacer All Day Sunshine wrested the early lead from Amelia’s Courage, then thwarted her late challenge to capture last night’s feature at The Meadows - Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.

All Day Sunshine easily repelled the first-over bid of Dorothy’s Legacy, but Amelia’s Courage had the entire Lightning Lane to pick her up.

The four-year-old daughter of Sunshine Beach and Mustang Kensley responded to the urging of driver Mike Wilder and held off Amelia’s Courage by a neck in 1:51.4, a tick off her lifetime mark.

The game Dorothy’s Legacy earned show.

Paul Corey trains All Day Sunshine, which triumphed for the fifth time this year and lifted her bankroll to $189,370, for owner Kenneth Ashba.

Dave Palone piloted four winners, including a pair for trainer Tim Twaddle, on the 13-race card.
