Agent Mac won his three straight when scoring in the opening leg of the Ben Wood Memorial Trot on Tuesday, April 3 at The Meadows, wearing down the leader, What A Hunk, with a persistent uncovered move that carried him to victory.

Winless at two, Agent Mac opened his sophomore campaign with a pair of victories highlighted by mid-pack moves. Tuesday’s win was a carbon copy, as he moved from fourth for driver Wilbur Yoder and overtook What A Hunk in deep stretch, downing him by a nose in 1:59.2 over a sloppy surface. Mr Contestant recovered from an early break to finish third. Rich Gillock trains the Muscle Massive-Mac’s Caper K gelding for owner/breeder Bob Key.

Conservator took the other $15,000 opening-leg division in the series for three-year-old colt and gelding trotters. The event honors the late Ben Wood, longtime trainer, driver and owner at The Meadows.

In the $18,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Pace, Rosemary Rose and Mike Wilder cruised on the lead, saving enough for the stretch to hold off the late rally of Albany Girl and defeat her by a head in 1:54. Pocket-sitting Graceful Vision finished third.

Ron Burke trains the four-year-old daughter of Foreclosure N-Pantathlon, who extended her career bankroll to $270,792, for Burke Racing Stable, Jason Melillo and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.

Trainer Dirk Simpson had a triple on the 13-race card.
