Easy Again quarter-poled to the front and jogged to a persuasive victory in 1:50.3 in Saturday’s $13,500 Winners Over $10,000 Life Pace at The Meadows.
With Dave Palone at the helm, Easy Again discouraged any challengers by reeling off four sub-28 quarters. The seven-year-old Dragon Again-Kuklapanandollie ridgling defeated the pocket-sitting Techtor Hanover by two and a quarter lengths while Brooklyn Flight rallied for show.
Ron Burke trains Easy Again, who extended his career bankroll to $864,018, for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, M1 Stable and Panhellenic Stable.
Elsewhere on Saturday’s card, Americas Fleet broke his maiden at first asking in 1:56, fastest this year by a two-year-old gelding pacer at The Meadows. Tony Hall drove for trainer Randy Bendis, who owns the son of American Ideal-Wishfora Fullhouse with Tom Pollack and Reed Broadway.
Hall, Bendis and Palone each enjoyed a triple on the 13-race program.
