After travelling along in fourth position, Bob Ciavardini moved P C Foreign Affair three-deep at the three-quarters and they rallied to the lead at the head of the lane then went on to a 1-1/2-length victory in the $7,500 NAADA Trot on Wednesday at Monticello Raceway.

Sent off at odds greater than 6-1, the nine-year-old gelding paid $14.20 for the win.

Ciavardini was content to get away fourth as Dave Yarock and Mr Ridgetaker zipped to the lead from the six-hole  as the timer flashed :29. Once on top, Yarock's trotter passed the halfway point in :59.4 and they got first call at the three-quarters in 1:29.2, but trouble was lurking when the trailers moved up. Fun Time Charlie (Scott Keppler) was head-to-head with Mr Ridgetaker as they turned for home but P C Foreign Affair on the far outside was the strong horse and, in the deep stretch, Ciavardini's trotter rallied to the lead and went on to triumph in 1:59.2. Fun Time Charlie finished second and Racintowardadream garnered the show dough for Paul Minore. 
 
Bob and Richard Ciavardini own the winning Cornaro Dasolo gelding, who's trained by Tom Merton.
