Narrow nose victory in Meadows feature

WASHINGTON, PA, Feb. 16, 2023 — Lexus Markus (Amigo Hall-Lexus Helios) held off the sustained challenge of Gold Stones to capture Thursday’s (Feb. 16) harness racing feature at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a $15,400 Conditioned Trot.

Ronnie Wrenn and Lexus Markus worked out a 30.3 second panel on top, a breather that served the 6-year-old gelding well when he was confronted by the determined Gold Stones. Lexus Markus edged the challenger by a nose in 1:55.2 over a sloppy surface while Fawn De Touch rallied for show.
