Rebounding from a tough outing, Easy Again seized the early lead and rolled through the slop to capture Monday’s $20,000 Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows.

In his most recent start, Easy Again was parked early and eventually broke stride. The five-year-old Dragon Again-Kuklapanandollie ridgling had no such misfortune Monday when he made the front from Post 8 for Dave Palone and coasted in 1:53.1. The pocket-sitting Dew N Doughnuts was second, with Classic Rock Nroll third.

Ron Burke trains Easy Again, who now boasts $726,381 in career earnings, fur Burke Racing Stable LLC, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, M1 Stable and Panhellenic Stable.

Mike Wilder piloted five winners and Jim Pantaleano four on the 15-race card while Paul Corey fashioned a training triple.
