Primo Spur, rebounding from two disappointing races, used a pocket trip and a late brush to capture the $25,000 Preferred Trot in a career best 1:54.2 Wednesday at The Meadows. The beaten favorite two back, Primo Spur suffered broken equipment in his most recent start, a mishap that cost him the lead. On Wednesday, trainer/driver Dick Stillings hustled him to the pocket, where he enjoyed escort service provided by the well-meant Prism K. Primo Spur charged in the lane to down that rival by a neck, with Oatmeister a closing third. Roy Davis owns Primo Spur, a 5-year-old gelded son of Pegasus Spur-T Tar’s Shadowmio who won for the 25th time in 70 lifetime outings. In the $25,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Trot, Hidden Viggorish was parked for 3/8-miles before grabbing the lead but prevailed for Brian Zendt in 1:54.3, just two ticks off the track record for older mares she established last week. Tom’s OK Lady came from well back to be second by 2-1/4 lengths while Go Get Blanche was third. Bill Zendt trains Hidden Viggorish, a 6-year-old daughter of SJ’s Caviar-Tia Maria who pushed her career bankroll to $385,879, for Harmony Spring Stable. Randy Tharps drove three winners on the 15-race card. (The Meadows)
