Keystone Chaos upsets in Open Trot

WASHINGTON, PA, Oct. 14, 2021 — The longest shot on the board at 11-1, Keystone Chaos circled the harness racing field late to pull off the upset in Thursday’s $16,000 Open Handicap Trot at The Meadows.

Keystone Chaos was fourth when Dan Charlino sent him on his largely uncovered move. The 4-year-old Andover Hall-Keystone Cola gelding had just enough racetrack to nail the leader, Jeffery P, by a neck in a career-best 1:53.3. Perlucky earned show in his first outing in nearly 11 months.
