WASHINGTON, PA, Sept. 30, 2020 — Crisp Mane thwarted the first-over challenge of Always Giggling en route to victory in Wednesday's harness racing feature at The Meadows, a $10,800 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.
Crisp Mane and Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. used their rail position effectively, powering to the point and seating Amelias Courage A and Always Giggling. Always Giggling charged hard near the three-quarters, but Crisp Mane turned her away by 1/2 length in 1:52.4. Amelias Courage A completed the ticket.
Ron Burke trains Crisp Mane, a 4-year-old daughter of Sportswriter-Designated Leader who pushed her career bankroll to $181,910, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.
Brady Brown collected three wins on the 13-race card.
