Recap of Buffalo, Wed., 7-15.


        Buffalo Raceway completed their final Wednesday night of racing and now we only have one more day of racing, this Saturday.  Then the horses move on to "The Stretch Drive" home track, Batavia Downs.  The guys were back in the simulcast center to watch and wager on Buffalo, along with a few other tracks as usual.
        David Mcneight III continued to stay hot with another three wins in the bike, leading all drivers on Wednesday night.  "Triple Sticks" won the 7th race, Fillies and Mares A - Open HDCP.

- Race 7 - Pace - FM A- Open HDCP - $11,500
        Mcneight III and Julio's Girl drew the rail in a real good field of fillies and mares and went off 15-1.  Blacknsweet Adda A had the 2 hole and would go off the betting favorite at 7-5.  Kevin Cummings left with Blacknsweet Adda A and put Julio's Girl in the 2 hole going to the 1/4 in 28.1.  Morrill pulled HP Sissy first over just after the half and applied some pressure to the leader getting to the 3/4 pole in 1:26.4.  Mcneight III sat chilly in the pocket until they hit the top of the stretch and Julio's Girl exploded through the passing lane to win this one in 1:56.2 over the 4, Lady London.  Julio's Girl paid $33.60 to win.  

        Mike and PC had a pretty good night as far as their picks go.  They gave out 10 combined winners on the 13 race card.  PC started the night on fire, picking the winner of the first three races.  He had a little dry spell after that but ended the night great with the stone cold super in race 13.  The super combo of 4-1-5-2 paid $41.50 and the tri paid $15.40.  Hell of a way to end the night.  Mike had 6 winners, including the race 3 exacta of 3-2.  The chalk, Awake My Soul won but the exacta paid $35.20.  What a price!  But the highlight of Mike's night was his Longshot Special.  Mike picked Julio's Girl to win race 7 at a morning line of 8-1.   It got better, Julio's Girl went off 15-1 and paid $33.60 to win!  We had a couple bucks on this one and we really hope some you did too.  As always, thanks for following along, we look forward to bringing you more new and exciting content in the coming weeks.

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...
