Jazzed remained perfect in her two-race career with a facile front-end win in Thursday’s $162,544 Pennsylvania Sires Stake at The Meadows. The first-timer Lake Dora was just as impressive in capturing the other division of the event, known as the Sand Tart, for freshman filly pacers.
Jazzed launched her career with a victory at Harrah’s Philadelphia that was abetted by a cozy pocket trip. There was no such gift in the Sand Tart, as the 4-5 favourite seized the lead from post 6 in a demanding :27.1. But when Andy Miller gave her a :29.2 second-panel breather, the race for win was pretty much over.

Amelias Courage A let All Day Sunshine do the heavy lifting on the front, then blew by her in the lane to capture Wednesday’s (June 30) feature at The Meadows, a $10,300 fillies and mares conditioned pace.
All Day Sunshine fiercely protected her rail starting position, discouraging an effective outside flow. But her 1:23 three-quarters in the slop left her vulnerable to the pocket-sitting Amelias Courage A, who moved outside for Dan Rawlings and scored in 1:51.4. All Day Sunshine saved place, 1-3/4 lengths back, with Royaltywestho a rallying third.
Richard Perfido trains the winner, a seven-year-old daughter of Courage Under Fire and American Dreamer who lifted her lifetime bankroll to $208,355, for Win Rhythm Stables.

Hammered down to 3-5 in the wagering, You Ato Dream was expected to dominate Friday’s $60,470 Currier & Ives for three-year-old filly trotters at The Meadows. And did she ever, powering to the point down the backside and drawing off to crush by 6-3/4 lengths in 1:54.1.
Awesome Trix recovered from an early break to finish second, with Cash N Chips third. Jeff Gregory trains and drives the daughter of Donato Hanover-Dream Child, whose lifetime bankroll soared over $300,000, and owns with William Richardson, George Romanoff and Martin Garey.
You Ato Dream already had a pair of Pennsylvania Sires Stakes victories entering the Currier & Ives, but Gregory has been concerned with her occasional impatience while covered up and changed her rigging accordingly. Gregory said those problems appear to be behind her.
