Longshots rule at The Meadows

WASHINGTON, PA, May 12, 2023 — Friday’s (May 12) harness racing co-features at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, a pair of $12,100 Conditioned Trots, turned out to be showcases for long shots as they were taken by Crazy Supersport (Sebastian K S-Crazy Eyes) at 7-1 and Rojo Man (Swan For All-Ultimate Gelding) at an even juicier 18-1.

Crazy Supersport took advantage of swift fractions to move steadily first over from fourth for Dan Rawlings and triumph in a career-best 1:52.3. Phantom Tom finished second, 2 lengths back, with Austral Hanover fourth-placed third. Lester Mullet trains the 4-year-old for Chris Hostetler.

CRAZY SUPERSPORT REPLAY

Rojo Man saved ground for most of the mile, then brushed wide through the lane for Brady Brown and prevailed in 1:54.3, also a lifetime mark. Favorite Aunt was second, beaten a neck, while Big Boy Ernest completed the ticket.

Ashley Brown conditions the 4-year-old, who now has won two straight, for Calvin Hoover.

ROJO MAN REPLAY

Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. collected three wins on the 12-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows continues Saturday, first post 12:45 PM.
