WASHINGTON, PA, July 31, 2018 — Lakeisha Hall zipped to the front from post 6 and powered to victory — her second straight and fourth in the last six — in Tuesday's $18,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows.
Last week, Lakeisha Hall used a pocket trip to out-finish the leader, Fox Valley Charm. On Tuesday, their positions were reversed, but Lakeisha Hall would not let Fox Valley Charm by in the Lightning Lane, downing her by 1/2 length in 1:51.3 for Dave Palone. McDazzle found late racing room for show.
Ron Burke trains Lakeisha Hall, a 5-year-old daughter of Third Straight-Lantana Hall who lifted her career bankroll to $548,879, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Jack Piatt II.
Palone collected four wins and Mike Wilder three on the 13-race card.
