Winding Hill had won three straight top class trots at Plainridge Park before faltering from post seven last week. But the drought was short as the venerable 10-year-old gelding got back to his winning ways in the $15,000 Winners-Over Handicap trot at The Ridge on Friday afternoon. Winding Hill (Drew Monti) was snatched off the gate and settled in fifth while stablemate Only Passing Through (Nick Graffam) took over as master of fractions. Under his direction, the single-file six-pack sauntered to the half in :57.3. Chav Hanover (Bruce Ranger) was first to pull and Winding Hill was obliged to follow as the group made their way up the backstretch. ....
After coming off a hard fought victory in the top trot last week, Nows The Moment came right back and scored an easy gate to wire win in the $25,000 Open Handicap trot at Plainridge Park on Friday afternoon. Driver Mike Stevenson made it clear he would dictate the race and had Nows The Moment on the point immediately after the gate released the field. With a loose lead and little resistance from behind, Nows The Moment cut quarters of :27.1, :57 and 1:26.3 at three quarters, where he held a two length advantage over the pocket-sitting Joey Bats (Kevin Switzer Jr.). Turning for home Joey Bats tipped out and tried to cut into the margin, but there was no catching Nows The Moment as he cruised down the stretch to a two length victory in 1:54.1. ....
Eurobond made his last pari-mutuel start on November 23, 2020 when he scored a 2-1/4 length victory at Plainridge Park. Now 165 days later it was “deja vu all over again” after the six-year-old horse won Friday’s $17,500 Winners-Over Handicap trotting feature at The Ridge. Eurobond (Bruce Ranger) got away a distant sixth while two-time feature winner Pappy Go Go (Jay Randall) grabbed the front in a quick :27.2. Positions remained unchanged to the five-eighths when Majestic Marvel (Shawn Gray) pulled first-over followed by Smooth Acceleration (Matty Athearn) and Eurobond, who started his big move. As the race made its way through the final turn, Majestic Marvel took the lead from Pappy Go Go and Smooth Acceleration then drew alongside him to challenge. But Eurobond was revved up three-deep and trotting under full throttle, looking past his competition. Ranger sat chilly and let Eurobond trot home on his own in a snappy :28.3 final split to win by a length in 1:55.2. ....
