Day To Party surprises at 12-1

WASHINGTON, PA, Feb. 1, 2023 — Day To Party (Sportswriter-Day To Ponder) moved three wide past the three-quarters and brushed wide through the lane to spring a 12-1 upset in Wednesday’s harness racing feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $12,100 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.

Once driver Dan Charlino tipped Day To Party off cover, the 4-year-old mare found a new gear and edged Slick Artist A, who was shooting the Lightning Lane, by a head in 1:55.1 over a sloppy surface. Leave Her Wild finished third.
