Shrugging off the effects of a three and a half-month layoff, Enoch found his best stride late to capture Saturday’s $20,000 Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows.

Enoch got away fifth for Dave Palone and trailed by six lengths at the half. But the four-year-old Panspacificflight-Kieannas Angel gelding poured through the stretch to edge A Real Miracle by a neck in 1:51.4. Early leader Dapper Dude was third.

Ron Burke trains Enoch, who extended his career bankroll to $155,240, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, Phillip Collura and Frank Baldachino. Palone and Burke teamed for three victories on the 11-race card.
