Two streaks extended to four at The Meadows

WASHINGTON, PA, July 5, 2023 — Bet On Zette (Bettor’s Delight-Friskie Beauty) overcame a brutal opening panel to collect her fourth straight harness racing victory in Wednesday’s (Jul. 5) co-feature at The Meadows, a $12,100 Conditioned Pace. Driver Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. notched five wins, including a pair for Burke, on the 12-race card while Brandon Presto enjoyed a triple.

Bet On Zette was parked from post 7 in that 26.3 first quarter before crossing over for Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. The 4-year-old had more than enough in the tank to repel the outside challengers and hold off the Lightning Lane bid of Lyons Lou by 1/2 length in a career-best 1:51. El’s Rocker completed the ticket. Ron Burke trains Bet On Zette for No Recall Stable.
