Barn Girl won her third straight race — and 14th this year — with a facile front-end score in Wednesday’s $18,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.
Barn Girl zipped to the top from post 6 for Aaron Merriman and never permitted any effective outside flow to develop. She defeated the pocket-sitting Lady Ping by 1-3/4 lengths in 1:55.4 over a “good” surface, with Panana Republic third.
Bill Bercury trains Barn Girl, a five-year-old daughter of Cash Hall-Turquoise Sweetie who now has won $555,968 and 48.2 percent of her 85 career starts, for Renee Bercury.
Merriman piloted four winners on the 12-race card while Jeremy Indof and trainer Dirk Simpson teamed for a pair of victories.
