Plainville, MA — A pair of $15,000 condition races for pacing fillies and mares topped the bill at Plainridge Park on Tuesday afternoon (June 28) with front-end speed dictating the outcome of both.

The first division went to Quarrel, who turned back a field of six with no arguments.

Kevin Switzer Jr. put Quarrel on the point and comfortably managed the race from there. After posting splits of :27.3, :57.1 and 1:25.1, Quarrel incrementally extended her lead to where she was 1-1/2 lengths in front by the top of the stretch. Heading down the lane, Switzer was a passenger as Quarrel opened up by 2-3/4 lengths and won in a lifetime best 1:53.3.

After not racing at two, the now 3-year-old Quarrel ($5.80) boasts three lifetime wins and 11 in-the-money finishes in 16 seasonal starts for owner Karma Racing. Elisha Lafreniere trains the winner.

In the second division, Delightful Virgin made an early power move and won her third consecutive race.

Pembroke Ali (Heath Campbell) blasted off the wings and opened up a quick three-length lead as the race went to the quarter. But after passing that station in :27.4, Shawn Gray had Delightful Virgin out and rolling, and they took the front in front of the stands. From there, Delightful Virgin maintained a one-length advantage for the rest of the mile, winning in 1:54.1 over a fast-closing Bottomoftheninth (Kevin Switzer Jr.) and Pembroke Ali.

Delightful Virgin is owned by Kelly Case and is trained by Dustin Ingraham.

Shawn Gray, Drew Monti and Bruce Ranger had two driving wins apiece while trainer Paul McHugh claimed two wins as well.
