The Meadows: Fit Fanatic holds on in Provost Memorial final

Pressured throughout the mile, Fit Fanatic found the wire just in time to capture Thursday's $21,000 championship of the Margaret Provost Memorial Trot for 3-year-old fillies at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.
Fit Fanatic needed the entire first quarter to make the lead and was immediately dogged by the parked-out Intellect Hill. Even when that rival tired, Fit Fanatic had to deal with a pair of late challengers - Gingerzzz outside, Shayna Rosa in the Lightning Lane.
Although she slowed to a 30 3/5 final panel, Fit Fanatic held on for Brady Brown, prevailing in 1:59. Gingerzzz was second by a head, with Shayna Rosa third.

The 4-year-old daughter of Sweet Lou-Continual Velocity now has banked $370,284.
