Hidden Viggorish lowers own Meadows mark

World champion Hidden Viggorish showed once again Thursday that she’s the queen of trotters at The Meadows, lowering her own track record for the second consecutive week in capturing the $27,500 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap.

She scored in 1:53.2, eclipsing her previous track record of 1:54 and the fastest ever for an older trotting mare at The Meadows. The time was just a tick off the all-age, all-gender track record that Hidden Viggorish established in 2006 at three. That mark still stands as the fastest ever by a sophomore trotting filly on a five-eighths-mile track.

Hidden Viggorish had to work for the lead from post position nine, but once Brian Zendt got her there, she clicked off quarters in :27.2, :29.4, :28.1 and :28 to prevail by 1 1/2 lengths over the pocket-sitting Tom’s OK Lady. BV’s Sister was a distant third.
