Driver Kevin Switzer Jr. continued his hot streak for the second day in a row at Cumberland, winning four races on the 10-race Saturday, May 13 program, which started out with a track record-equalling performance.
Winding Hill had won three straight top class trots at Plainridge Park before faltering from post seven last week. But the drought was short as the venerable 10-year-old gelding got back to his winning ways in the $15,000 Winners-Over Handicap trot at The Ridge on Friday afternoon.
Winding Hill (Drew Monti) was snatched off the gate and settled in fifth while stablemate Only Passing Through (Nick Graffam) took over as master of fractions. Under his direction, the single-file six-pack sauntered to the half in :57.3. Chav Hanover (Bruce Ranger) was first to pull and Winding Hill was obliged to follow as the group made their way up the backstretch.
