Plainville, MA – Following a similar strategy put forth in last week’s victory, Powered By Mach made it two in a row after taking the $22,500 fillies and mares Winners-Over Handicap pace at Plainridge Park on Monday afternoon (Nov. 15).

Powered By Mach (Jay Randall) took a quick lead and dominated the pace throughout. With stablemate That’s Incredible (Drew Monti) in tow, Powered By Mach went :27.4 and :56.3 before a minor challenge from Always Mindy (Drew Campbell) showed up going to three-quarters. However the leader was never really in trouble as she rebuffed the outsider around the last turn and then turned back stretch runs from That’s Incredible and Surreal Syrah (Matty Athearn) to win by 3-1/2 lengths in 1:53.1.
