HAMBURG, N.Y. --- Kevin Cummings is the two-time defending
driver champion at Buffalo Raceway but he entered Sunday afternoon's (June 19)
action sitting in a unfamiliar fifth place in the rankings. It didn't have anything
to due with his driving ability. It was because he was sidelined for several
months with a broken arm in an off-track mishap.
But it appears Cummings is regaining his old form as he
posted four victories on the card to move into a fourth place tie with Drew
Monti in the standings with 65 wins. Jim Morrill Jr. leads the way with 100
trips to the winner's circle.
On the 11-race program, Cummings scored aboard Helena's Hope
($2.50), KJ's Flash Jordan ($2.20), Fire Up The Mach ($5.70) and Mach Stockn
Barrel ($2.40)
Shawn McDonough and David McNeight III each had driving
doubles on the day.
Racing will resume on Wednesday night with a 10-race card
scheduled for 5 p.m. New York Sire Stakes action will highlight the program
with the 3-year-old filly pacers taking center stage. There will also be events
in the Excelsior A & B Series along with an extremely competitive field in
the $10,000 Open Pace for the filly and mares.
