Moneyorroses (Kevin Switzer Jr.) sat second at the quarter behind Anvil Hands (Jim Hardy) but pulled in front of the stands and took the lead for good at that point. After getting to the half in :56.4, Moneyorroses was under attack by Lyons Legacy (Shawn Thayer) who came first-over as they headed up the backstretch. The field was tight heading into the last turn, but Moneyorroses was stout and held his ground.

With Lyons Legacy still at his flank, Switzer kept Moneyorroses rolling and took an open length lead into the stretch. At that point Select Friday (Matty Athearn) was flying wide and Paddy All Day (Drew Campbell) burst through the pylons and joined Lyons Legacy in the chase. But Moneyorroses closed it out with a one-half length win in a career best 1:54.2.

It was the fourth win of the year for Moneyorroses ($8.00) who hasn’t missed the board in seven Plainridge starts this year. Zach Vickerson both owns and trains the winner.

It was the third straight win and fifth of the year for Bettor Cat ($2.60) who is owned by Desiree Dessureault and Diane Whittemore who just claimed him last week. Mario Dessureault trains the winner.
