HAMBURG, N.Y. --- Heartsaregonnaroll was the 'Queen of the
Night' at Buffalo Raceway Friday evening (April 11) as the lone mare in the
field flexed her muscles and went wire-to-wire to snag the $10,500 Open Trot in
a seasonal best time of 1:58.3 over the fast track.
The heavily-favored Heartsaregonnaroll ($3.80) didn't break
any hearts as she managed to post the half-length victory over
Justgottogetthere (Jim McNeight) and Talladega Hanover (John Cummings). In the
stretch, the winner trotted smartly to the finish as the remaining field of
gentlemen failed to mount any challenges.
Sent right to the lead by driver Ronnie Wrenn Jr.,
Heartsaregonnaroll posted marks of 29.3, 59.0, 1:29.0 in posting her third
victory in 13 starts. The steady and consistent 5-year-old mare has been in the
money nine times this season, earning $27,181 for owners Paul and Ronald Viele.
Alex Giuliani trained Heartsaregonnaroll (Hard Rock N Roll-Primrose Hanover), now
a winner of $108,617 lifetime.
The action continues at Buffalo Raceway on Saturday night
when a 12-race card will go to the post at 6:40 p.m. The featured $10,500 Open
Pace is slated for the eighth race.
