Western goes wild at The Meadows

wildwildwestern3.15.19

HANDY pacer Wild Wild Western made the top with an uncovered move and found the wire just in time in Friday’s $16,200 Open Handicap Pace at The Meadows.

Wild Wild Western was third when Tony Hall sent him after the leader, Macadoodledoo. The 5-year-old son of Western Ideal-Caila Fra cleared handily but was pressured late by Carolina Beach in the Lightning Lane.

Wild Wild Western downed that rival by a neck in 1:51.3 while long shot The Wall rallied for show.

Norm Parker trains the winner, who lifted his lifetime bankroll to $269,229, for Jacobs Creek Racing, Andrew Altobelli and John Deters. It was one of four wins for Hall on the 13-race card.
