Biletnikoff continued his recent domination of The Meadows' $27,500 Preferred Handicap Pace, as he triumphed easily Tuesday for his third consecutive victory. Aaron Merriman urged Biletnikoff to the front in a demanding :26.3 but was able to give the 5-year-old gelded son of Keystone Raider-Strikadeeze a second quarter breather in :29.3. From there, Biletnikoff faced no serious challenges, winning wrapped up in 1:51.2. The pocket-sitting Amorts A was second by 1 1/2 lengths, with Pacey Deucey third. Paul Kennedy Jr. trains Biletnikoff, who has won seven of 13 starts this year, for Max Ernst. Dave Palone drove five winners on the 16-race card while Merriman fashioned a four-bagger. (The Meadows)
