Driver Bruce Ranger and trainer Domenico Cecere put on a clinic in their respective positions as they both set performance records at Plainridge Park on Monday afternoon (July 17). 

Ranger drove seven winners, matching a Plainridge record only done three times before by himself, Greg Merton and Greg Bowden. But those previous records were all on 14-race cards at Plainridge. Monday was the first time a driver has ever done it on an 11-race program. 

Ranger had a total of nine starts on Monday and also finished third one time, and that gave him an astounding .815 UDR for the day. 

Cecere had a total of five starters from his stable who all won, and that is a Plainridge record for wins by a trainer on any length card. Cecere also posted a perfect .1000 UTR for his efforts. Five of Ranger’s wins were trained by Cecere.

Their tag team triumphs started with a natural hat trick in races one, two and three with Milliondollarwall (1:55, $6.20), Hush Moni (1:56.4, $6.40) and Moni Lisa (1:54.4, $2.40). They finished off their quality quintet with The Wise One (1:55.2, $4) and Sonnys Moni (1:54.2, $3). 

Ranger then went on to win two more races with Jericho (1:56.1, $3.60) for trainer Robert Kenney and Delayed Hanover (1:52.2, $2.80) for trainer Kevin McDermott.
