Recap of Buffalo Raceway, Sat, 7-4




        Buffalo had another nice 13 race card for us on Saturday, July 4th.  The crew watched some races and celebrated the Holiday with a few cocktails.  There's nothin like a nice bonfire on July 4th.  And apparently David Mcneight III felt like celebrating on the track as he lead all drivers with four winners on the night, starting with race 3.

- Race 3 - PACE - CLASS AA - $11,000
        Billy Davis Jr. left off the rail with China Dream and Triple Sticks Mcneight left out of the 3 hole with Black Is Back.  Mcneight had to settle for the pocket trip as China Dream cut this one again.  China got to the half in 58 and 3/4 pole in 1:27.  Mcneight pulled Black Is Back to the outside at the top of the stretch and got by China Dream to win by a head at the wire.  Black Is Back went off the favorite and paid $3.90.
- Race 7 - PACE - CLASS A - $10,000
        This one got interesting real early as Drew Monti left with Stratosphere out of the 7 hole at 45-1.  He crossed over for the early lead but it didn't last long.  Mcneight III got away second off the rail with the favorite, Daylight Rush.  After he let Monti go to the front, Mcneight pulled and got right back on the lead.  After getting to the half in 58, Daylight Rush cruised to the victory in 1:55.  Stratosphere raced great and held on for second.  

        Our handicappers had a pretty good night as well.  Mike and PC combined for 13 wins on the night at Buffalo.  Both guys hit their Best Bets again also.  PC gave out the early double, having the winners in race 1 and 2.  The double combo of 5-3 paid $12.80.  We'll take that every day.  Then PC gave out the stone cold superfecta in race 8.  Utah Beach was his best bet and the super came in 4-1-2-3 paying $13.70 for a buck.  Mike hit the 3rd race trifecta cold also.  The top three choices finished in the tri, so it paid $8.20 which we actually thought was decent.  Mike also gave out the stone cold tri in race 10.  It finished 4-2-1 and paid $26.75.  Myell's Rockstar finished second at 11-1, helping the trifecta price.  Check the guys picks to see how they did on the rest of the card.  We'll be back with more analysis and of course some winners, as always.  Thanks for reading and watching!!

Batavia Downs recap for Sat., 8-29.

Image
           Saturday turned into a driving duel between two of the leading drivers at Batavia Downs.  Jim Morrill Jr., the leader in wins going into Saturday with 28, added four more wins to his total.  But Drew Monti was also on a heater, picking up four wins of his own, giving him 15 wins on the season.  Monti won the Open I and Open II Pace.  In the Open II, STRATOSPHERE was super impressive, basically going wire to wire for a pretty easy win in 1:53.3 by two lengths.  That's two wins in a row for STRATOSPHERE.  And in the Open I, Monti got a nice trip with BLACK IS BACK.  He pulled second over behind the favorite, LONG TRAIN RUNNIN, went three wide around the last turn and just got up for the win by half a length in 1:53.4.  BLACK IS BACK paid $12.60.            The Stretch Drive crew put in another nights work gambling Saturday night.  Mike and PC combined for 10 winners out...
