Six-year-old pacing mare LA Always Amartini had been based at Yonkers Raceway until last week when she shifted northeast and finished second at Plainridge Park. Seven days later, the second time was a charm for her as she scored her first Massachusetts win in the $15,000 conditioned feature for six-year-old and younger distaff pacers at The Ridge on Thursday afternoon. LA Always Amartini (Kevin Switzer, Jr.) watched from sixth as Sweet Sue (Jim Hardy) and Maverick Fiber (John Nason) played give-and-go with the lead to the half. After reaching that station in :56, Sweet Sue became the pacesett...

Duplicated N copied his performance of last week after taking early control of the race and never looking back to win the $14,000 weekly pacing feature at Plainridge Park on Monday afternoon. Duplicated N (Bruce Ranger) watched as Hudson Phil (Jay Randall) rushed by him to grab the lead in a brisk :26.1 before pulling the pocket to retake the top as they rolled by the stands. From there Ranger had it all under control and called the shots to his liking. After tapping the breaks in the second panel to :29.2, Duplicated N switched into glide and posted a :27.3 third quarter that stifled an outs...

To win a horse race is difficult. You need so many things to go well. The horse needs to be talented and sound. You most likely need a good post position but regardless of post draw, race luck is a must. The trainer needs to do his job, the driver needs to do his.

After a win and a second in the top pacing class at Saratoga Raceway, Artful Way tried that same level at Plainridge last week and fell short in a gallant closing brush. This week he would not be denied after putting in a gutsy effort to win the $15,000 Winners-Over featured pace at Plainridge Park on Monday afternoon. Artful Way (Jay Randall) got away third in the short but select field of five as Some Waratah A (Greg Merton) was the commander of fractions. The race proceeded in single file past the first two stations in :27.2 and :57.1 before Rock Diamonds N (Ron Cushing) pulled from last a...

Macheasy A made it look easy winning for the second consecutive Tuesday afternoon (April 13) at Saratoga Casino Hotel. The Rob Harmon trainee came to the Spa for the first time last week with two wins to his credit in 2021 but with no evidence that he could thrive in an Open Pace. The eight-year-old pacer proved otherwise last week when he parlayed a pocket ride to victory with Jay Randall at the controls. This week, Macheasy A once again got a two-hole trip behind a Jackie Greene-trained pacer. Moonshine Kisses (Billy Dobson) raced against top-flight competition at Yonkers this winter and s...
