Five for Lady Newton and five for Merriman

WASHINGTON, PA, Nov. 9, 2021 — Lady Newton rolled to her fifth straight victory — and earned a 1:51.2 lifetime mark to boot — in Tuesday’s harness racing feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $12,100 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.

Lady Newton got away third, but once Aaron Merriman sent the 1-5 favorite to the point at the quarter, the race for win was pretty much over. Lady Newton widened her lead late and defeated All Day Sunshine by 2-3/4 lengths, with early leader Something Reel third.

Bill Bercury trains Lady Newton, a 3-year-old daughter of Sweet Lou-I’m Sassy, for Renee Bercury.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Wednesday when the 12-race program features a $3,807.62 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 PM.
