WASHINGTON, PA, Sept. 11 — Star Caviar had to duel three wide for the early lead, but once on top he was much the best in capturing his third straight harness racing victory in Wednesday's feature at The Meadows, an $11,800 Conditioned Trot.
The first two wins in his streak came on the PA Fairs circuit, but Star Caviar showed plenty of raceway mettle, thwarting the extended first-over challenge of Just Fly Beyond to prevail for Mike Wilder in a career-best 1:56.
The pocket-sitting Town Hall Justice was second, 2-1/4 lengths back, while Just Fly Beyond saved show.
Spencer Kahrig trains Star Caviar, a 3-year-old Caviar Crown-Missy Star K gelding, for Melvin Straley.
Tony Hall piloted five winners on the 14-race card while Brady Brown and Wilder each enjoyed a triple.
Live racing at The Meadows resumes Saturday, first post 1:05 PM.
