Batavia Downs recap of Wed., 9-2.

 

        Wednesday night at Batavia Downs was an action packed 13 race card.  There were many drivers and trainers that visited the winners circle at least once.  Billy Davis Jr. once again lead all drivers in wins, getting his picture taken three times.  That gives Davis 26 wins at Batavia.  Morrill collected two more wins on Wednesday, keeping the lead with 34 total wins.  

        We had a couple of upset winners in the feature races.  In Race 3, the OPEN II Pace, the newcomer, LADY DUDETTE (Kyle Cummings) won in her first Batavia appearance.  LADY came from way off the pace to get the win in 1:55.4 and paid $16.20.  Impressive showing by the Tammy Cummings trained Mare.  There was also a mild upset in the OPEN I-II HANDICAP Trot.  DAYLON PHANTOM (Renaldo Morales II) got away fifth.  He pulled second over and went three wide down the backstretch.  DAYLON easily cleared the lead and won by seven lengths over STATE OFMYHEAD AS.  This one looked like an absolute machine coming for home.  DAYLON paid $12.20 to win.  

        I know what you've all been waiting for.... The results of our Best Bet challenge between PC and Mike.  Both guys picked a horse in Race 13 as their Best Bet of the night.  So we had ourselves a mini handicapping contest.  Well, I hope you all took the guys advice because the two horses they picked finished first and second.  PC got the better of Mike this time as his Best Bet, YOU MACH ME CRAZY (David Mcneight III) got the win.  It was a great race as our two horses were neck and neck all the way down the stretch.  YOU MACH ME CRAZY got up at the wire to beat WILLEY BITE (Fisher) by a head.  Great battle gentlemen.  That was as close to a mortal lock exacta that we've given out all year and it paid $7.50.  We'll take those all day long!  Mike did make a score of his own as his Longshot pick for the night got the win.  LADY DUDETTE won Race 3 and paid $16.20.  Hell of pick Mike.  PC hit a very nice late double in Races 8 and 9.  He picked the 1-3 DD cold and it returned a whopping $44.20.  Damn son.  We got the money!  

        Thanks again and we'll be back with more content coming soon.  And maybe a small announcement to be made about something happening in the near future!!
