Enhance Yourcalm N remains undefeated at Plainridge

Plainville, MA — Enhance Yourcalm N made a third consecutive jump in class and this week to the top level, $25,000 Winners-Over Handicap featured harness racing trot. But despite the tougher company, the results remained the same as Enhance Yourcalm N won again on Thursday (Sept. 28) to remain undefeated at Plainridge Park.

Kevin Switzer Jr. got away fourth with Enhance Yourcalm N while the front-running Echo De Meautis Fr (Nick Graffam) towed the field to the half in :57.1. Enhance Yourcalm N was out and rolling there and flushed Big Al M (Mitchell Cushing), who provided cover to the seven-eighths pole where Enhance Yourcalm N tipped around him before going head to head with Echo De Meautis Fr. Echo De Meautis Fr looked to have the edge heading home but Enhance Yourcalm N incrementally drew nearer with every stride and got up in the shadow of the wire to win by a head in 1:53.4.
