HAMBURG, N.Y. --- It's only been two weeks since Wanna Rock
N Roll arrived in Western New York from Yonkers Raceway but she has learned
quickly that racing on the front end is the right thing for her to do.
In her second start of the season at the Buffalo Raceway,
Wanna Rock N Roll ($3.60) again made every step a winning one in taking the
featured $9,000 pace for the mares on Wednesday night (May 25).
In her seasonal debut last week at Buffalo Raceway, Wanna Rock
N Roll went wire-to-wire in 1:56.1 in scoring a 1-1/4 length victory. She went
even faster this start over the fast track with a 1:55.2 time in easily winning
by 4-1/4 for catch driver Jim Morrill Jr.
Blasting from the five hole off the gate, Wanna Rock N Roll
had no trouble in reaching the lead and posting splits of 28.1, 56.3 and
1:26.3. In the stretch, the race was all but over as Wanna Rock N Roll went
uncontested to the finish line. Who Says That (Drew Monti) won the battle for
second place while Passion R Virginie (Shawn McDonough) took third.
Owned by Rose Campbell and trained by Mike Carrubba, Wanna
Rock N Roll (Rocknroll Hanover-Cams Leading Lady) is a 5-year-old mare that now
has won six times in 16 appearances this season. The victory upped her earnings
to $45,475 in 2016 and $205,732 lifetime.
Kevin Cummings had a four-bagger while Todd Cummings, Jim
McNeight and Morrill Jr. all had two wins in the sulky. Trainers JD Perrin,
Carl Surdyk and John Mungillo each doubled.
Racing will continue on Friday night at 5 p.m. with an
11-race card set.
