WASHINGTON, PA, Jan. 24, 2013 — Escape The News escaped the field after a demanding first quarter and scored easily in Thursday’s $22,500 Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows.
Although Escape The News was parked out the entire first panel, he thwarted the first-over challenge of JJ Gladiator and triumphed for Dave Palone in 1:53.2. The pocket-sitting Risk Management was second, 3/4 lengths back, while Marty’s Charm finished third.
Ron Burke trains Escape The News, a 4-year-old Artiscape-Ideal News gelding who extended his career bankroll to $460,414, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, JJK Stables and Howard Taylor.
Palone and Burke teamed for four winners on the 15-race card while Brett Miller enjoyed a driving triple.
