HAMBURG, N.Y. --- Kesons Silhouette stepped up in class to
Buffalo Raceway's featured filly and mare pace for $7,400 on Wednesday night
(Feb. 3) and rewarded her faithful backers with a nice $36.00 win mutual.
After watching Ding (Ron Beback Jr.) do the dirty work in
putting up some hot fractions of 28.2, 57.4 and 1:28.0, Kesons Silhouette
(Truman Gale) was the benefactor. The tiring Ding offered no resistance in the
lane as Kesons Silhouette zoomed right on by and registered length win in
1:58.2 over the good track. Ding held on for second while Charmschooldropout
(Shawn McDonough) rallied for third.
It was the second straight victory for Kesons Silhouette
(Shadow Play-Play Southwind), a 5-year-old mare owned by Michael Kessler and
The Speed To Burn Racing Stables. Trained by Misty Carey, Kesons Silhouette now
has bankrolled $7,250 this season.
Private Equity (Todd Cummings) scored the largest win price
of the young season with a $143.00 victory in the sixth race.
Todd Cummings and David McNeight III each posted doubles on
the night in the bike while James Clouser Jr. and Christopher Naedele had a
pair of training victories.
Racing will continue on Friday night at Buffalo Raceway with
a 12-race card scheduled for 5 p.m.
