DOUGS FAME WINS 4th STRAIGHT IN MEADOWS DEBUT

WASHINGTON, PA, Nov. 10, 2009 - In his debut at The Meadows, Dougs Fame found the track and the company to his liking Tuesday as he sailed to victory - his fourth in a row - in the $27,500 Preferred Pace.

His previous wins in the streak came at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, but the change in venue made little difference to the 4-year-old son of Apaches Fame-Armbro Vertical. Dave Palone sent him to the front at the quarter pole, and the 3-5 favorite encountered no serious challenges thereafter, prevailing in 1:51. War Boots was a rallying second, 1-3/4 lengths in arrears, with Bobnoxious third.

Ron Burke trains Dougs Fame, who now has won $146,605 this year, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, JJK Stables and W.W. Haas, Jr.

Palone, Aaron Merriman and Mike Wilder each drove three winners on the 13-race card.
