DONATOVER MUCH THE BEST IN MEADOWS $20,000 TROT

WASHINGTON, PA, Oct. 29, 2019 — Donatover grabbed the lead with a quarter-pole move and was unthreatened thereafter in capturing Tuesday’s $20,000 Open 1 Handicap Trot at The Meadows.

Donatover was away third when Dave Palone sent him after Final Breath on the point. The 4-year-old Donato Hanover-Anonyme Hanover easily repelled the challenge of Pass The Vape and downed him by 2-1/2 lengths in 1:52.4. Final Breath saved show.

Tim Twaddle trains Donatover, who extended his career earnings to $192,588, for Micki Rae Stables.
