Dewitt For Josie blazes to 1:49.3 track record in Meadows top Distaff Pace

At 0h57, on July 13, 2023 • By THE MEADOWS

Dewiit For Josie zipped to the lead from post six in :26.3 and didn’t slow down for a beat, rolling home in a track-record 1:49.3 in Wednesday’s (July 12) $21,200 Filly & Mare Open Handicap Pace at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

Dewitt For Josie threw down a swift 1:21.4 three-quarters for Dave Palone but still had enough in the tank to defeat Itty Bitty by four lengths, with Blue Ivy third. With that effort, the daughter of Sportswriter-Lucky Josie is now the fastest 4-year-old mare pacer ever at The Meadows, lowering by a tick the 2012 mark of Camille.

Mike Hall trains Dewitt For Josie, who extended her lifetime bankroll to $210,804, for Let It Ride Stables Inc.
