Angus Hall son sets season's mark

WASHINGTON, PA, June 15, 2015 — Tamarind ignored the off going and powered to victory in 1:53 — fastest this year for an older harness racing trotting stallion on a five-eighths-mile track — in Monday's $18,000 Preferred Handicap at The Meadows.

Tamarind was third down the backside for Aaron Merriman when he swept by the leader, Tall Cotton, and went on to defeat him by 3 lengths. Call To Post finished third. The time lowered Tamarind's previous lifetime mark by two ticks.

Bill Bercury owns and trains Tamarind, a 7-year-old son of Angus Hall-Spicegirl Kosmos who boosted his career bankroll to $647,044.

Dave Palone piloted three winners on the 14-race card.
