Ah Day came back raring to go after a two-month layoff, charging home to win the $74,400 Fire Plug at Laurel over the 7-5 favorite, Crafty Schemer.
Jockey Mario Pino kept Ah Day on the rail and off the early pace of the six-furlong Fire Plug, as Kazoo went to the lead pressed by Country Moggie through an opening quarter-mile in 22.01 seconds. After Crafty Schemer, with Ryan Fogelsonger riding, came up and overtook the leaders, Pino swung Ah Day wide coming off the turn, then back inside Crafty Schemer, and took off to a 3o3/4-length victory.
