Kevin started the night off with a very nice victory in the
opener with the thirteen year old Haste. He took back early in the mile
to set the pocket and then came closing home late to win in 2:00 1/5.
Kevin’s biggest winner of the night was aboard Terracina As (Allstar
Hall-Madeleine It). She made her move going towards the quarter and got
caught outside going up the backstretch the last time. When turning for
home she looked like a beaten race horse, but was able to power past R A’s
Shakenbake (Ron Beback Jr.) late to win by a length. Kevin also won with
Instant Thrill ($7.30), Dry Ice ($2.90), and Sir Altb Z Tam ($2.50).
Saturday nights card at Buffalo Raceway is very strong opens up
with the Horses & Geldings Open which features the return of
Fireyourguns. Fireyourguns only raced in a couple of starts in 2014 at
Buffalo, but was dominating in each performance. Fireyourguns qualified
effortlessly last week under a hand drive by driver Michael Caprio. He
faces a tough group of other Open horses including Mach Stockn Barrel who has
been very consistent as of late and is returning to Buffalo after a tough trip
at Mohawk.
The co-featured pacing event of the night is the Open II pace
where Youwillwishyouhad returns trying to continue his dominance. He had
a very good start to the season and then sort of tailed off for a couple of
weeks after getting sick. Trainer James Clouser Jr. brings this horse in
off a race where he was parked the majority of the mile. Also dropping in
against him this week is Unicorn Hanover who is having a very slow start to
2015 and looks to rebound from the inside post.
Join Buffalo Raceway for Western New York’s biggest Kentucky
Party beginning at 10 AM on Saturday. Live racing at the Hamburg-Oval on
Saturday is at 6:35 PM.
