An unhurried sixth at the half, Dougs Fame swooped the field with an uncovered :27.4 backside blitz and captured Tuesday’s $27,500 Preferred Handicap Pace--his fifth consecutive win--at The Meadows.
Dougs Fame hadn’t been further back than second at any point in his current streak, but Dave Palone allowed him to settle before launching his assault on the leader, War Boots. As Dougs Fame gobbled up ground, War Boots appeared to take a bad step and subsequently left the course.
Dougs Fame avoided the confusion and scored in 1:52.1. Aaron Merriman neatly guided Bobnoxious around the faltering War Boots, enabling the millionaire 9 year old to preserve second, 1 1/2 lengths in arrears. Object Of Art was a non-threatening third. It was one of six wins on the 13-race card for Palone.
Ron Burke trains Dougs Fame, a 4-year-old son of Apaches Fame-Armbro Vertical who pushed his career bankroll to $278,551, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, JJK Stables and W.W. Haas Jr. (The Meadows)
