WASHINGTON, PA, April 18, 2018 — Expose Yourself put away the venerable Barn Girl with a quick backside burst and earned a convincing harness racing victory, her third straight, in Wednesday's $20,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.
The 2017 Horse of the Year at The Meadows, Barn Girl entered the race off three straight wins but had to work hard from post 9 to get the early lead in 27.2. When Dave Palone moved Expose Yourself from fourth, she exploited the favorite's vulnerability and scored in 1:55.1, matching her career best. The game Barn Girl persevered and earned place, 1-1/4 lengths back, with Ameliosi third.
Ron Burke trains Expose Yourself, a 4-year-old daughter of Kadabra-Muscle Shirt, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.
Mile Wilder collected four wins on the 12-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows resumes Saturday, first post 1:05 PM.
