Classicality took advantage of the leader’s miscue and rolled on to victory in Wednesday’s $20,000 Preferred Handicap Trot, the closing-day feature at The Meadows.
Classicality was first-over in pursuit of Cue Hall when that rival made an unforced break, allowing Classicality to slip back to the pylons rather than grind it out without cover. Classicality and Dave Palone did the rest themselves, defeating the rallying Maximum Credit by a length in 1:54.1. Nothinbutanallstar finished third.
Lisa Dunn owns and trains Classicality, a six-year-old Classic Photo-Penn Worthy Lane gelding who now boasts $389,867 in career earnings.
It was one of six wins for Palone on the 13-race card.
Following a break for the New Year’s holiday, The Meadows kicks off its 2017 season on Monday, Jan. 2, first post 1 p.m.
