Plainridge: Brandon Blvd blows away foes in Paul Revere Pace

Brandon Blvd (Downbytheseaside-Alexis Faith) made his first start of 2026 a winning one after cruising to an impressive victory in the Grade 3 $100,000 Paul Revere Pace at Plainridge Park on Saturday (May 2) afternoon.

Dexter Dunn got away fourth with Brandon Blvd as Hard To Forget (Matty Athearn), Watch Em Win (Nick Graffam) and Hunt Off The Press (Shawn Gray) all took turns on the lead before reaching the half in 55 1/5. It was at that station that Dunn tipped Brandon Blvd to the outside and methodically overtook control from Hunt Off The Press on the backstretch.

Brandon Blvd then built a two length advantage as he passed three-quarters in 1:23, while the rest of the field began to fade behind him. As he made his way around the final turn, Brandon Blvd was already under wraps as Dunn sat chilly heading into the stretch. And from the top of the lane, Brandon Blvd closed it out with ease, winning by 2 3/4 lengths in 1:51 1/5.
